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.

And so it came to pass...
That after an eon of disagreement, the horn lovers were verily converted to dynamic speakers, and alas, the dynamic lovers...you guessed it, fell in love with HORNS!

Play nice guys, there's nothing important enough about audio to make someone angry--it's a hobby.

Good listening, and PEACE

Larry - Those guys continually invade church services and harass the faithful about their beliefs, all the while calling them zealots. If they are of a different faith, let them stay at home and worship as they see fit.

Do a search of horns and you will see that they both do the same tiresome thing every time a thread concerning horns appears.

As Dan-Ed said, we are all aware that they don't like horns. There is no need for perpetual harassment from them.

Like a fly that I swatted several times, but keeps returning to annoy me. Not a wasp, bee or mosquito, because they inflict pain, but just a fly, a regular household fly, just an annoyance....shoo shoo.

Very well said, Larry.

I think if people met in the hallway at an audio show, instead of on this internet forum / virtual battlefield, they'd instantly become friends.

Actually, I had just that experience a couple of years ago... meeting someone at RMAF that I'd squabbled with (and frankly been rather rude towards). He posted earlier in this thread, and he's a helluva nice guy.
