I've posted this elsewhere, but one of the most entertaining sessions of the Acoustical Society of America I attended was a debate between Paul Klipsch and Edgar Villcher (of AR fame). At issue, of course, was a large speaker driven through small excursions vs. a small speaker driven through large excursions, and controlling distortions with large excursions. Klipsch said something like, I don't care if you push it with a broom handle, you still have to move the air.
I assume stereo reduced the popularity of corner loaded horns, given that an integral part of the design was incorporating the walls extending from the corner of a room as an extension of the horn. Not many rooms lend themselves to two horns placed in the corners.
