I perfectly understand why some people hate horns. But horns done right can be an extremely satisfying long term solution. For me: if I knock on the side of the cabinet and it sounds like a plywood box - I keep looking. This characteristic is often (but not always!) resonated by the driver in the cabinet and even my abused hearing can pick this up (and does get annoying after a time and I feel contributes to some horns bad rep). Tractrix as opposed to exponential shape for mid's can be a plus too. The efficiency with detail sold me.
Good Luck, you have an exciting quest...
