But you've still got the awful colourations from the horn, you've still got no bass, and now you've got a load of x-over components in there too. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I'm gone.
This does seem to be "one of those" threads where folks who haven't heard the items under consideration are having great fun putting the boot in.
Not really in the spirit of AOS, imo.
I've not heard Frugelhorns but some folks whose ears I have a reasonable degree of trust in say they are very good.

A quarter wave horn operates on the same principal as a quarter wave acoustic column, it relies on the 'column' of air contained being energised by the driver and produce a partially in phase output at low frequencies. It does not act as a waveguide in the way a BLH or Tractrix does. The driver can be situated almost anywhere along the line/horn and still work.
That's not a bad guess - the corner frequency is 13kHz according to the crossover calculators, and it's a first order filter.
The driver is an Alpair 7.3, and the quoted spec doesn't quite tell the full story. Thankfully the response curves do show where the roll off occurs
