I am not that familiar with this particular system, but, I believe it is a triaxial speaker meaning it has a midrange cone and a horn tweeter all centered in the middle of the woofer cone. It is only a "horn" system in that the tweeter has a horn type wave guide. The woofer part of the cone will deliver bass and midrange frequencies firing forward. The rear wave is loaded in a conventional bass reflex cabinet so that the output of the port is primarily very low frequencies.
But, these types of systems which are meant to be put into the corner of the room are also sometimes referred to as corner horns because the walls at the corner act as wave guides directing the sound toward the listener. This is another example of how the term "horn" is used in different ways. The Klipschorn is also described as a corner horn because of similar placement, but, it is also a horn system because it employs compression drivers and horn wave guides while the E-V triaxial driver is not a compression driver.
