In the days of monaural sound, when imaging was not an issue, corner loaded horns were designed to be placed in corners, the aim being LF extension as the adjoining walls became part of the horn. This was true of KlipshHorns, ElectroVoice Patricians, and number of JBL speakers, and others. IIRC, stereo and the AR air supsension speaker killed these giants off. My introduction to what became known as HiFi was a medium size JBL folded corner loaded horn in 1952.
