You need to insulate around the horns. The attic around them will take on the outside temperature. The wood surface of the horns will be a poor insulator. Without insulation, it would be the equivalent of having a wall in the room without insulation, but even worse as the attic is hotter than the outside in the4 summer, and in the winter all the heat in the room rises to the ceiling and will escape through the horn wall. In the summer, water will condense on the outside of the horn and in thwe winter on the inside, thus rotting out the wood or allowing fungus to grow. Plus your heating and cooling bill will skyrocket. Thus either insulate and vapor barrier the attic side of the horns or completely insulate the outside walls and roof of the attic.
