Horn Speaker Recommendations

Hey  , WillGolf
If you could blind demo  all horn speakers at the same time ,  without knowing which ones you were hearing  and decided the Klipsch were the most satisfying , would you buy them  and call it a day ?

Dromme....I wish it were that easy.  The hardest part of my journey is hearing a speaker today that sounds good and then in three weeks you go listen to another speaker. It is hard to remember the differences in sound from the different speakers over time.
In answer to your question, as I have said many times in this thread that looks are important.  Whatever speakers I choose will not be in a dedicated listening room but will be a focal point in my great room.  If all of my choices were in the same room and I was blindfolded and Klipsch sounded the best, I think my spouse would acquiesce to my desires but she would not be happy.  So, yes I would buy them and save a ton of money.  But a happy wife is a happy life....so I am told LOL.

That's a tough place to be in for audio quality and you have my sympathy. Hope you find something she likes and produces great audio too. I never told my wife this but this ordeal of building a new house and having to deal with the spouse during the process is why we will never have a new house. I get some say in what happens too or it does not happen.

  Finding showrooms or willing owners to audition can be hard to do. Forums are a great place to find owners and I would rather go to someones house where they have dealt with setup and rooms and do not have magic salesman snake oil going on.

The Volti Vittoria looks nicely made and would be a fun speaker to work with. I would get two bass cabinets though. There remains a phase/time issue between the drivers. It seems only Avantgarde addresses this by staggering the drivers but the Trios make a staggering presentation that would own any room. If you've ever seen them in person they are big! It would take a really slick guy to get these by the wife. I showed a picture to my wife and her response pretty much killed any inclination I had toward trying a set.
