I tried flatwounds on my acoustic guitar once, for less than half an hour. I hated them, and pulled them off and replaced them with regular acoustic strings.
I've also tried the D'Addario "flat tops" once as well, and while I didn't loathe them with same intensity as I had the flatwounds, I still didn't keep them on the guitar for very long (a few days, maybe,) and never tried them again.
For some folks, they're great, but they're not for those who want some sparkle and liveliness from their guitars.
