Horns with good timbre and tonality?

W.r.t real instruments, it is harder to get to the tonal/timbral accuracy level of some TAD, Yamaha, Voxativ, older Schweikerts, Gershman (hit n miss), etc with alternate waveguide/compression driver offerings, ime/imo. Unless a guy spent a couple of decades nitpicking himself to death with a piano or a violin, he could enjoy the music with horns just fine.

If you are going with horns, other things are more important to you anyways. On that note, some JBLs are pretty good. If you eventually complain that the JBLs ain’t getting all the way there w.r.t the above mentioned, those Harman PhDs will argue you to death with scaa-ence anyways. They’ll claim that the musician’s ear is very biased. 😁

Cost no object: JBL Everest DD67000

Budget Restrictions: JBL HDI-3800

What about OMA speakers ? Those look serious. I’m going to check out their showroom in Brooklyn. Did anyone get to hear them ? 

Classic Audio's T 1.5 Reference by a mile. All the others are wishful thinking. SET ready, high impedance, field coils and all. 

Ditto Volti and Classic Audio recommendations.... Tannoy and vintage Altec's and JBL's as well.

@pdreher 

very interesting speaker Classics. Have you had a chance to listen to them? They’re located in Jakarta, seems like a wild place to ship from. 
 

did you hear Volti?
