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.

"...there's nothing important enough about audio to make someone angry--it's a hobby."

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.

I suggest these "two" read the original op again, and the accompanying paragraph. Very plainly he speaks positively about horns, but not other designs he has listened to. Duh........... Bass to horn integration was what he lacked. He had dynamics which he loved. Unsound, you think your 3.5s would have satisfied him. No, because they are lifeless and contrived (to some of us). Stop annoying us. We all sent Renmeister away because of the two of you. You would not let the horn loving community help him. Shame shame, shoo shoo.

Well, this thread can only be compared to ongoing MM/MC debate. And let's not bring the insects in; they have nothing to do with it and somehow manage to enjoy life while they have it. Who knows what they "think" of us?

I don't think Renmeister cares much based on his absence here....my suggestion would be for Totem speakers, which are exceptionaly expressive and nuanced.
