Once again, there is no set amount of gain you get from horn loading. It depends on the driver specs and the horn specs. The average is between 6 and 10 dB. You also can't assume that the listed driver sensitivity on a spec sheet, which is measured with the driver mounted in a wall, has a linear relationship with its sensitivity when horn loaded. For instance, Driver A, with 3dB higher sensitivity on the spec sheet than Driver B, can have 3dB lower sensitivity than Driver B when both are loaded into the same horn.
