You and I really need to hear one of Tom's synergy horns as well

Not sure if you're aware of this, but those horns are unlike others I've seen in that all frequencies radiate from the same "mouth". A difficulty I've always had with conventional horns is that reproducing something like piano sounds as if the speaker has a personality disorder with each frequency range having its own radiation pattern. Which is why I've always been a full range electrostat fan.

Interestingly, both the synergy horns like an SH-50 and Sound Lab electrostats are similar in that they are designed to be used in arrays since they have controlled directivity. You can expand the lateral and/or vertical radiation angle. Ray Kimber used to demo his recordings at shows using double or triple arrays of Sound Lab 922s - nine foot tall each with 22 degree radiation angle widened to 44 or 66 degrees.
