Are there horn profiles or geometries that work better than others?

Unity - that what it was called back then , remember that now. EDIT - 25 years ago was gathering and Lambda Acoustics was builder of the demonstrated Unity - End EDIT

Although not great in number but my interactions with this design were all either straight conical or a 2 flare conical.

EDIT - reread your post and see that exponential and conic geometries were discussed

Have you found certain horn geometries work better than others?

Is your Paraline lens an offshoot or extension of the Unity "chamber" ( for lack of a better word) ?)

The use of physical configurations of multiple separate drivers to combine wrt wavelengths for both Unity and Paraline.

Over last 20 years came across three other Lens implementations (Graham , VMPS and newform)
We builders spend 30 years fussin with removing any little bumps screw heads, flush mount drivers,etc and folks like you and others stick wood plank with holes and slots in front of drivers , it works well (. Have not heard Paraline). Leaves us home builders wonder what other " rules " ain't always to be followed.

But I could ask dozens of questions, possible you could point me to additional docs and papers like the patents. I would understand a reminder if my questions or inquiries treaded to close to proprietary information.
