I have heard them on multiple occasions. They are not bad, per se, but not worth the $. Big in-your-face type of sound. Despite the name, the basshorns are not really horns... more like subs with a horn-shaped front end to them. (at bass frequencies, the AG basshorns have way too small mouth, throat and horn length to horn load anything below maybe 150-200hz if that. so, bit of a misnomer, IMHO).
Personally, for top-shelf bigbucks horns, I'd get an edgarhorn Titan system with his sub, and pocket the $30-60k in change. ;-)
Or, go for some REAL horns, using Goto or ALE drivers, where you can get real bass horn loading down to 20hz or more. (need a big wallet and even bigger room). The big-ass Soundlabs are nice too, if you have a lot of coin to drop and like the panel sound.
The best horn stuff (compression drivers, et al) is not something you can buy - it needs to be built/assembled in a DIY fashion and requries more than the normal amount of tuning/tweaking and adjustments to the setup. Generally this requires sourcing somewhat exotic or esoteric drivers, and horns. There are people (companies) who do this, but are more of a one-man-band type of outfit, it's easier to achieve similar results @ a lot lower cost going the DIY route.
