Tapped Horns go lower than Folded Horns but, not as low as a
Reflex. There are some that must use horns. Those that fall into that category will
find Tapped Horns exceptionally good. For those that use Reflex cabinets,
Tapped Horns will sound as if they lack the low end extension commonly found in
Reflex cabinets. 

The hype behind the Tapped Horn is based upon Tom Danley.
There are lots of people that respect his design schemes and feel exuberant creating
one of his designs.

A tapped horn is definitely half way between a Front loaded Horn and a reflex.
As such it is a valid way of designing an enclosure and has its place. Especially where a user might prefer efficiency over size. A double reflex may match it but will use double the drivers and power.
Its not all hype, its just another choice.
