what do horns sound like


Ive probably only heard one or two many years ago and i may never get a chance to hear another anytime soon.

Do they work with pop music and electronic music? 

Do they disappear?

Do they have even tonality?

are they for nearfield or far field?

I did hear JBL K2 years ago and those were great. I have also heard Avantgarde Acoustic horns and they were also good but they did not impress me as much in that very large room.

What I have most often read about horns is that they have fantastic dynamics but color the sound a bit. The also generally lack deep bass since that requires enormous horns and it is usually handled by an active subwoofer instead.
