I'm tempted to ask why they have to be horns. Speakers are simply transducers which convert electrical energy into acoustical energy via the movement of a diaphragm. Who cares how they're designed, if the results are good? But anyway...
Look at www.meyersound.com. From a humble beginning back in about 1978, to a large and well-known pro loudspeaker company today, they make a wide variety of horn-loaded and not horn-loaded loudspeakers for the pro markets, with very high sound quality.

To answer your question I suggest buying this book and having a read. There is an excellent chapter on horns and the advantages they bring.

Forums are great for specific questions however for really in depth insight into certain topics there is no substitute for books and first hand experience.
Well, after auditioning all speakers that I can, I have only liked very costly horns, and then panels. Not a single box, except the new Verity Audio series (Leonore etc) does some good things. I like that horns can also be pushed to the wall, unlike panels. And can be driven by low wattage amps. I have tried sensitive non-horn speakers like Zu Audio, Zingalis and Audionote, and to me they are just meh, not something I would spend on.

Agree, Horns are special. Especially mated with Compression Drivers. I have not heard any other speaker match the Speed, Dynamics and Clarity of a Horn with a Compression Driver.
