I have to take issue with you here. Almost by definition horn speakers are exceptionally sensitive, typically 100+ dB. Why is this? Largely as the sound is projected in a narrow beam, via a "horn". The clue is in the name!
As with megaphones, sound is directional and deliberately so. As for "listening with their eyes", I'm somewhat confused. If I close my eyes while sitting in the sweet spot of my horns (provided they are well set up), I can point towards each instrument or singer unambiguously - far more so than ever is the case with most other types - eyes are not needed.
Another advantage of horn's directional nature is that the proximity of side and rear walls is largely ignored by these speakers,
