Efficiency gains from horn loading

[JimJ 11]

I guess I'm being really optmistic here, but are there any pieces of software (free, would be nice ) that accurately model horn-loaded speakers in room? I'm trying to model efficiency gains from different types of enclosures, and most modeling software comes painfully short...

All the research I've done on horns doesn't give actual numbers for efficiency gains; of course, most of that is room/placement dependent, but some general guidelines would be nice to go on...

I've yet to find ANY good math on horns... let alond programs. Though, I prefer math & MS Excel.

Sorry Jack-O

well looky what I found http://www.mhsoft.nl/hornsystem.asp I've never used it myself. I hope it does what you're asking for. I'm looking through all my zipped speker apps now...I sure thought I had a horn program from Germany maybe??

I found my horn calc crap... http://www.sonicdesign.se/horncalc.html

heres some CRAZY spiral horn stuff too! http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~hanbei/eng-intro.html
