I owned the PAP Voxativ and then later upgraded to Horn1. Here are my thoughts:
- As good as PAP Voxativ is, Horn1 is BETTER in almost every parameter.
- If there's one area Voxativ version has an advantage over Horn1 is the soundstage width. But that's expected given Horn1 is well, horn.
- If you prefer a brighter/up front sound, you might like Voxativ better. Horn1 is warmer compare to Voxativ.
- Horn1 is quieter, more refined, poised and more musical than Voxativ.
- Horn1 has no downside that people associate with horn drivers. It's smooth as butter, detailed, never in your face and has the LIVE music feeling.
Despite having 4x15" woofer in PAP, It integrated with my small room better than my previous small floor stander that went down to 35hz at -3db. I used to have so many room treatments and bass traps. Not needed anymore with PAP. Open baffle is very room friendly. However, it is WIDE and may not fit with every room decor.
I was also fortunate to hear the uber expensive Voxativ Field Coil driver with the PAP and compare to Horn1. PM me if interested in hearing my impression.
PAP either Vox or Horn1 is amazing value for money.
