I'm a fan of horns, though I currently don't run a pair.
I have some close friends who REALLY dislike horns, and instead of trying to convince or talk over them, I prefer to listen and understand their complaints. Beyond the typical complaints about shout, some centers on the integration or lack thereof of such disparate drivers. Even as a fan, I acknowledge and understand, though I've listened to more than a few "regular" designs that do as badly or worse.
One more thing...horns come in both front-loaded and back-loaded configurations. Almost always in these discussions, we mean the former when we use the terms generically, but some excellent back-loaded horn products have come down the pike
