In my opinion you are incorrect.No mouth can be made such that there is no diffraction and as such this diffraction will meet at the axis in anti-phase at some point. This causes a hole. It is not an HOM effect and is unaffected by the foam. A larger mouth radius makes it smaler and a larger mouth makes it go lower in frequency.
I have tested this all and it is quite correct.
I have also stated numerous times that no waveguide has NO HOM, only some have a lot less. The drivers create HOM even if the waveguide does not.
Duke is dead right in what he says. He has learned his lessons well.
