Ah, you've reminded me of the other iffy assumption in the classical maths (Webster horn equation?) - that the waves remain in contact with the horn walls. Yes, I guess the diaphragm directivity takes over at high frequency - in fact that's what phase plugs are all about, now I come to think of it.

Funny how quick you can forget things
