When stereo came in, corner horns went away.

It wasn't a horn, it was a bass-reflex.

There's a lot less benefit in putting a bass-reflex design in a corner,
but you do still get that edge effect and the matter of consistency.

I don't buy this "consistency" notion. There are still far too many
diferences: room size, furnishings and building construction. And that's
before we think about differences in the speakers themselves: driver types
and sizes, materials used, construction techniques etc.
