What could I expect from these? I'm hoping to get a listen to "the horn sound" as its not something I've heard before. Would there be a big difference to my ANKs?
Not at all sure what to expect so any opinions welcome.

Don't believe the hype....

I wouldn't expect too much in the way of "horn sound", tbh.
The x-over to the horn loaded tweeter is at 6KHz, well into treble territory.
The glory of horn loaded speakers (speed, immediacy, clarity) is mainly to be found in the midrange, imo.
