Well, probably too much looking into to the word “insult” made the focus of it a bit off the target.  I do not know what makes the headphones to have bad imaging devise.  There are zillion papers written about it, whoever care about it might look among the headphone people.  I never care about it, even though I use headphones a LOT, being a software engineer I do work in headphones in office. 
 
Horns are usually are bad for imaging. Different topologies can throw much better imaging then horns. Still, there are reasons why horns do not image as good as some other topologies and is to take care about the reasons (time alignment, horizontal surface, back reflections etc…) then it is possible to get a spectacular imaging from horns. Not a lot of peoples know how to get there. 
 
I still feel that direct radiators conceptually have advantage over the horn’s imaging.
