What does one purchase after owning horns?

I have owned Avantgarde Uno's and sold them because of the lack of bass to horn integration. I loved the dynamics, the midrange and highs. Now faced with a new speaker purchase, I demo speakers and they sound lifeless and contrived. The drama and beauty of live music and even the sound of percussion insturments like a piano are not at all convincing. I have an $8k budget for speakers give or take a thousand. My room is 13'X26' firing down the length. Any good ideas will be appreciated. My music prefrences are jazz/jazz vocalist.

When someone takes the position "I don't like it so neither can you", what do you say? Take your toys and play some place else?

I have never heard Trios, but I tend to believe what Chadeffect says having moved from Apogees and high power Class D to Trios and some flea powered tube amp and having discussed the differences and similarities between the two quite extensively on his virtual system page.

He was running his Bel Canto ref1000 monoblocs with the Trios for a bit when he first changed from Apogees and reported good results, which surprised but impressed me. An amp that sounds good on both Apogees and high efficiency horns has to have something going for it.

Knowing his background and experiences, I seriously doubt Chad would be living even this long with the AGs if they had the stereotypical horn issues.

Hey but one person's panacea can easily be another's pox. ya just never know.....

Mapman:

Pass on Dan_Ed, such romper room banter is best left until he has had his milky.

Chadeffect:

It appears you believe the AG trio to be the best speaker on the planet, seeing that the OP has moved on and replaced his AG uno, could you give us an idea of your references..

Yes, Weseixas. If, You and Unsound would just simply "pass" on threads concerning horns instead of trolling for arguments the rest of us could get on with what we like to discuss. We horn lovers get that you guys don't like horns. Myself, I don't give a shit whether or not you two "get it" or not, which is why I don't try to convert anyone.
