If the hall is really elliptical and the horn is placed near one focus then reflected sound from the horn will be concentrated near the other focal point. A listener there would hear the horn more than the other instruments of the orchestra. The balance would be messed up for the listener. Other listeners nearby would hear other instruments enhanced, again at the expense of overall balance. Good concert hall design tries to avoid that. You want everybody to hear the balance that the conductor wants.
