Greets!Like I said, it would be far too big with typical drivers, so no, I don't know of one. You can prove its validity though by using a high Fs, relatively high Q driver to keep it a reasonable size though. I don't understand why you question this since you pretty much explained the 'why' in your response here: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hug/messages/118571.html
".........but it does show that the horn becomes more resistive at a frequency where its size is large compared to the wavelengths presented to it, nearing the top of the passband."
IOW if you tune it with a large enough horn with its center frequency of SQRT(Fl, Fh) = Fs, then the horn will completely damp it, just as Plach noted and as Thuras, Olson and others understood early on judging by their compression driven horn designs.
