If you mean where does the horn begin to provide gain over the direct radiating case, that depends on which one you mean.

A Synergy horn like an SH-50 exhibits gain beginning around 100Hz.
Unlike most loudspeakers with a crossover, the frequency ranges in a Synergy horn combine without the traditional phase shift (time shift).

They sum well enough such that even when you put your head inside the horn mouth, you cannot hear there is more than one driver and an SH-50 can reproduce a square wave over more than a decade wide band, spanning both crossovers.
What radiates appears to be one source in time and space (as if it were a single wide band driver) and does not produce a polar pattern of lobes and nulls (an interference pattern) like normal multi way loudspeakers.

It is a much much more complicated system to design than a direct radiator but it does work.
Best,
Tom
