Me too.

Horns -
I can't stand the metal domes in the tweeters.
Since I hear the ringing they give me headaches.
Also it takes ~15 ft before they come into focus.
I don't have that room in my apartment.

Single drivers -
I went to an audio show and heard over a half dozen
different commercial speakers and was dissapointed.
Some were driven by SS and others by tubes.
Some I could not even stay in the room
because their sound was so grating.
One was so bad it hurt even before I entered the room.
Others ranged from irritating to annoying.
Absolutely none were a pleasure to listen to.
