I have conical horns which none of that honking, shouty stuff so many always mention. It is important to know that horns vary. Some designs sound much better than others.
For me voice is the best benchmark of a speakers reproductive accuracy. We can argue all day about musicality but it is pretty easy to determine if a spoken voice is clear, articulate and realistic sounding. And I think that a speaker is a machine. If it can reproduce a voice perfectly, it can reproduce everything else as well. And mine do. My horns have a coaxial compression driver so they range from 450 hz. to 17Khz. from a single point source. Underneath is a 15 inch woofer in a ported cabinet that reaches to perhaps 40 hz.
