Newbie Question: What constitutes a Rear Loaded Horn Design?

High Efficiency Speaker Asylum

Need speakers that can rock with just one watt? You found da place.

Hello Everyone,
It is fairly obvious if a speaker is using a front-loaded horn design. However some rear-loaded horn designs don't seem to use any sort of real horn at all. Some speakers that come to mind are: Rethym speakers, Horning designs and the bass section for Duevel speakers. The "horn" sections of these speakers seem nothing more than a long, sometimes twisting, tunnel of contant diameter. So how can these be called "horn" designs? If anything, they appear to be more like transmission line designs.

Thanks
