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.

Dave_b, I agree about the Totems and would add the Reference 3A Grand Veenas while you can still get the Murata supertweeter. But neither comes near the speed of compression driver horns. Nevertheless, I will probably not go back to horns for a third time.
Wow, horn guys can be high strung!

Must be all those dynamics!

Makes me wonder.

Totem's are not a bad idea but you need a really juicy amp!
Zealot- According to Wikipedia - noun meaning : 'adherent, loyalist, enthusiast, patriot. Thank you Unsound for complimenting us ! You need to get over yourself....
Mapman, certainly, but there are problems for all varieties of speakers. As I said, I miss the speed of horns but am happy with my Tidals.
