Surely, Ralph, your Classic Audio Horns are a different world than Khorns?
Have you heard the 75th Anniversary ones?
I was commenting more about the issue you raised regarding
sharp, honking sound of the horns
Which IME isn't a thing. If its a properly designed horn, it will be musical as long as the source is musical. Horns have controlled directivity, which allows you to minimize early reflections from side walls (which the ear interprets as harshness). So if set up right they are often smoother than regular midrange and tweeter drivers.

To the former: they are! To the latter: I don't think so; I heard a set of Klipsch speakers at AXPONA which featured a very large midrange horn and they were quite good. Big, dynamic, open, detailed and smooth- easy to like 😀
Do you know of other excellent options? 😇
@bouncehit since you asked, I'm using our class D amps on my Classic Audio Loudspeakers and they work quite nicely together!
