inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker?

Today I heard Western Electric 2 way 100db/W speakers with horn and 18 inch woofer in Korea.

It has the most dynamic and natural sound that I had heard for the last 10 years.

It will be my dream speakers.

But with cost of 250 K$, it is not easy to make decision to get it.

Also it is huge and heavy requiring large and high listening room.

Shkong78, you are a lucky fellow to have heard those WE speakers.  Do you know which WE units these were?

Horns fell out of favor due to there lack of color and tone .  Others called them shouty as well.  I know from experience and ownership. I own La Scalalas and Heresys  (my first '76) still match ok with small old McIntosh.  But the big ones yep 15 inch non breathable woofeers still a struggle.

A 15 inch woofer can go up to 800hz easily in a two-way system. Altec A7's (VOTT). Same for the Altec 19. Why waste money on car speakers? Vintage Altec 15's can easily be found on EBay and other sites.

i am diving in perhaps before im ready.  i did a perfunctory look around at reviews along the lines of, "musical 15 inch woofers" and didnt get enough guidance to make much sense of it.  i ended up purchasing a pair of woofers that are distinctly designed for car audio, due to their construction quality for the price, their handling capacity, and with a recommendation from a youtuber whose projects have inspired me.  Anyway, after the purchase (still havent received) i realize that i was going away from musicality towards thump.  i am correcting my ways.
