I've heard a number of horn systems nearfield which sounded very good to me. Even at such close listening, the different drivers were reasonably integrated. Horns tend to sound dynamic and the sound "comes alive" at relatively low volume, another plus for those listening in confined spaces.
But, most of the true horn systems I've heard were not truly full-range and did not have much in the 20-30 Hz range. A horn would have to be enormous to do that range.
