Horn Speaker Recommendations

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. 

You should buy speakers first , then tell contractor to build a room around the speakers
