I’m looking high and low for speakers with the following attributes:
1. Wide and deep soundstage. Speakers can disappear from the soundstage. 2. Decent imaging. 3. Explosive dynamics with force and surprise. 4. Costs less than $10k.
Seems a good number of horn manufacturers offering massive horn systems for home use maybe those extremely ignorant of whats available haven't noticed any horns at shows or available for sale.
Yes, the recording, that's where you start. You also need right source and amp/speakers unit to do it right. Horns are not for everyone, not for me - too big and expensive to consider.
I can definitely agree the recording is very important. I can also see why somebody may say horns are not for them as they are too big and too expensive. But don't dismiss them as honky and not worthy of a good sound, that is blatantly wrong!
For me the design is not relevant at all I am looking for sound not for a furniture. I will not hesitate to buy an ugly design speaker if it sounds right to me .
