David S., I feel your pain! You need to try some generously sized conical flare (straight sided) horns, which as Bill Woods has long asserted, sound "the least like horns." I ignored his wise counsel for several years, much to my detriment. Honk be gone!
Follow Ups:
I have heard something similar. Those horns which are designed more for pattern control (i.e, waveguides) as opposed to high efficiency seem to have less of that "honk."
There was a peer review study conducted for different speakers such as conventional monkey coffins and different horns. The shorter horns (less than 1 foot deep if I remember right) had a sound characteristic very similar to conventional monkey coffins.
Maybe the cause, or a contributing cause, are the HOMs which horns can produce. You can read all about HOMs elsewhere (I even forgot what the acronym stands for - ask Earle Geddes).
