This is not precisely true actually. At the lower frequency end its true, but at the upper end spreading the wavefront and directivity wider will reduce the sensitivity. The situation is highly frequency dependent. The OS waveguide has substantially lower sensitivity at HF than say an exponential or a direct radiator simply because its takes a given energy and distributes it over a much wider area.

Point taken. I was merely speaking of conventional wisdom in horn design. You're not what I would call a conventional horn builder, Doc. 😉

Damned if I know. I haven't heard your rig.
But what I can tell you that I've heard a vast number of bass rigs over the years and very, very few were what I would call fast and dry, the way non-recorded sound can be. Only big, heavily braced, low pressure BR boxes with low Qts drivers. Or big open baffles with low Qts drivers can do it - IMO. I suppuse it's about stored energy, or the lack of it.
Sorry if that isn't much help, but that's about all I know!
