Summary: It was shown recently that, in the case of Schwarschild black hole, one can obtain the correct thermodynamic relations by studying a model quantum system and using a particular duality transformation. We study this approach further for the case a general spherically symmetric horizon. We show that the idea works for a general case only if we define the entropy \(S\) as a congruence (``observer'') dependent quantity and the energy \(E\) as the integral over the source of the gravitational acceleration for the congruence. In fact, in this case, one recovers the relation \(S=E/2T\) between entropy, energy and temperature previously proposed by one of us in gr-qc/0308070. This approach also enables us to calculate the quantum corrections of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula for all spherically symmetric horizons
