Horn speakers are really bright?

So I’m trying to understand why so many people think klipsch or horn speakers are bright 

I have two  set up garage and living room both with horn speakers EPIC CF4 garage and and KLF 30 mahogany living room  

I have recorded this songs with my iPhone  listen to them and feel free to tell me what you don’t like about them
 by the way I don’t have any room treatment

There were two instances where horns sounded good. Vintage 1980s Klipschhorn and Acapella Cellini!

The trick with horns is to take advantage of their controlled directivity- you can use that to minimize side wall reflections, thus allowing them to be smoother than a lot of non-horn systems.

That is very true atmasphere. I have less trouble with reflections since using horns.
