Soundstage and explosive dynamics?


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.

The OP has a $10K budget and shouldn’t have much trouble finding speakers that meet his criteria, horn loaded or otherwise.

Every speaker design has its tradeoffs. If it’s not low-level dynamics, it’s tone, coherency, imaging or something. I currently have 3 pairs of speakers in 3 systems and each have their strengths and weaknesses. In Kosst’s defense, horns tend to have a love it or hate it sound, despite all the things they can do well. While I like some horn speakers, I understand why others don’t. I think everyone here can agree that some speakers can manage surprising feats, despite their size and lack of efficiency. For some, a pair of KEF LS50s would be plenty "dynamic." After all, that’s a subjective term, and for which system context must be considered. For my tastes, a pair of Spendor SP100s or Harbeth M40s would meet all my needs, but someone out there would certainly find them anemic by their standards.
Phusis excellent explanation which I cannot find any fault with.

Larry good point as well, there are bad implementations of horns which generally I find to be in the cheaper PA realm
Perhaps someone should start a thread regarding horn speakers. This " love it or hate it " impression has to be explored, I think.
Personally, I don't like in your face sound nor do I like laid back sound, horns or not.
Inna…are you female? Not that it matters really, but I get a female vibe from you and since there are so few females around this forum I'd simply like to know. Thanks.
