. . . other types may disappoint. Conventional box and planar designs may have flatter frequency response and more coherent phase/time behavior between drivers, but they just can't get that "jump factor" that is unique to horns and can make good recordings sound scary-real.
I've not owned horn speakers myself, but have heard a number over the years, in showrooms and at friends' houses. One guy had some big Klipsches (Forte?), and while they could get a little edgy in the treble, they played big orchestral music with color and drama I've never heard elsewhere.
