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.
