Hi Don,

Remember as well their are basically two types of Horn speakers:
1. Compression driver horn speakers (Ex JBL)
2. Waveguide type horn speakers (Ex Avant Gard)

I do not think horn speakers would be too bright.  The advantage of a horn is that it directs the sound towards you and there tends to be much less splash off the listening room sidewalls, ceiling etc. which means less brightness not more.
