To horn or not to horn


I have never owned a horn speaker. I’m curious if there are any who are first time horn speaker owners after having owned other types of speakers for many years, and are you glad you switched?

After years of never owning horns, I just bought a pair.

Like many have said here, I never ever thought I would like horns and never listened to many because of the feedback of others.

I bought a pair of Heresy II for $320 locally (yup, a steal) and have fallen in love!  Last pair of speakers I bought had a vifa ring tweeter and an electrostat 8" mid and now they sound dead and flat in comparison to the Heresy.

They are so airy and not overly bright as I had assumed.  Don't seem to be as temperamental to my room and setup either.  I am also wondering if with getting into my mid 40's that my hearing is the other issue, am I naturally rolling off the highs because I'm getting old?  ;)
