There are many different horn throat types. There's your typical exponential horn, which is what you'd see in EV and then there's a tractix. The tractix is more of a square throat as opposed to regular. Think of the difference between a 4:3 tv for Tractix and a 16:9 for exponential. There are other horn throat calculations but those are the two I'm most familiar with. Different shapes have different sound characteristics.
A Klipschorn is a folded horn in the bass module. The last section of the bass horn throat is meant to be an eight foot section of uninterrupted wall to get the full range. The mid horn section is exponential with the high end tweeter placed above it. If the bass wasn't folded it would have to be a 32 foot horn! I recently read an article about an Italian guy building his ultimate subwoofers.
