To horn or not to horn


I have never owned a horn speaker. I’m curious if there are any who are first time horn speaker owners after having owned other types of speakers for many years, and are you glad you switched?

I think that we need to distinguish the difference here between front loaded compression drivers and back loaded full range drivers as the two couldn't be more different.  
I think that a listener's preference for horns (assuming that they are good ones) will be in good part based on how much they value realistic dynamics, and the sense of ease that horn loudspeakers display.

That is not the priority of every listener.
danager,
It happened the same way for me, except that my first speakers were Khorns, and I went through 19 other pairs of speakers before realizing that I liked horns best.
I would love to hear the Gottenburg. It's prettier than the Tannoy Westminster.
