Does tapped horn behave same as bass reflex ports?

So im interested in learning about tapped horns. From what I understand, the horn length is a quarter of the frequency they are designed to handle well. If the horn impact the sound waves just like a port in a bass reflex design, then the usable frequency response must me very narrow. Is horn different from ports? If so, what makes them different? What does a 1/4 wavelength do different than a small port, tuned to the same frequency?

Is the usable frequency response of tapped horn wider than the frequency response of a normal bassreflex port? I might be bad at googling, but I have yet to find any good Info on this matter, or.. well… I have found some articles about horns but once I see complex math equations I tend to back of and look for something simpler to read. 

I'd first begin with the basics of designs based on quarter wave propagation:

Tons of stuff here which covers most bases, especially if you read it in order.

From my experience, tapped horns and bass reflex have different dispersion in smaller rooms - BR fills a smaller room nicely but TH has more of a "throw"

Generally for a chosen driver an optimal tapped horn will be bigger in volume than an optimal  bass reflex cabinet.

We tried playing different sine waves in about a 70m2 and the TH had more spots of cancellation that BR. I dono. just saying, thats my experience, maybe its an illusion...
