"Horns are sort of like wearing headphones; since the sound is more direct-to-the-ear, more details can be heard. This is
exactly why they make good monitor speakers."

Fine - but always remember as per Prof. Hayakawa -- horn 1 is not necessarily horn 2.

All horns are NOT good - some companies will use a 'horn' just as a moniker - often bringing what SHOULD be heard as catastrophic results. A good direct radiator can be MANY times more accurate (hi-fi) than a mediocre horn design.
