Most horn-loaded speakers don't change timbre as the volume is cranked up. That's a big attraction.

You might seek out Tannoys to demo, as they share that trait with horns. Their imaging is vastly better - point-source concentric drivers. Like horns, their tonal balance is rock-solid at any volume level. Unlike horns, their presentation of low-level harmonics is much better. Also like horns, they are very efficient.

If you can't find Tannoys, Fyne Audio was started by the Tannoy design and management team when they fled after Uli Behringer bought Tannoy. Seek them out as well.

(Yes, I know... there are a couple horn-loaded Tannoys, but most are not.)
