Change to Horns or stay Dynamic

After hearing some incredible horn systems, I am curious if anyone has switched from Dynamic or Planar speakers to horns and why? I am thinking about high end horn systems with compression drivers that operate full range. The bass needs to keep up with the speed of the midrange and highs. Preferably a full range horn system, rather than a hybrid.

darren, sounds like you and i are after the same thing; after listening to the WP6s for years, i'm growing tired of their distortion, their blurred microdynamics, and the lack of dynamic expression...despite wilsons being the most dynamic monkey coffins i've heard.

the ? to you in your experience w/ cessaro et al: how'd they do w/ a drum kit? bass guitar? seems like this hobby is all about compromises, and horns mean you compromise the bass & weight of the performance, or you compromise your domicile with a gigantic speaker.

ATC might be an interesting solution.
