What does one purchase after owning horns?

I have owned Avantgarde Uno's and sold them because of the lack of bass to horn integration. I loved the dynamics, the midrange and highs. Now faced with a new speaker purchase, I demo speakers and they sound lifeless and contrived. The drama and beauty of live music and even the sound of percussion insturments like a piano are not at all convincing. I have an $8k budget for speakers give or take a thousand. My room is 13'X26' firing down the length. Any good ideas will be appreciated. My music prefrences are jazz/jazz vocalist.

Atmasphere, the issue I have is that we have to have these same damn "discussions" every time horn comes up on Audiogon. Zealot troll, there is enough of this on both sides.

"It doesn't matter what you or the others think sound the "best", that's the choice we all have and make when we put together " our" system."

That is exactly my position, but what I read from you and Unsound does not give me the impression you guys really feel that way. We all know by now that you and Unsound find no redeeming qualities to horn speakers. We get, it. We don't need to be reminded each and every time a horn thread comes up on Audiogon. Why not just let the "zealots" have their fun?

Are you sure the OP got out of horns? He certainly got tired of you and Unsound.
