Horn speakers are really bright?

The strength of a top notch horn system is the ability to sound great at very low volume levels--they still manage to sound lively, detailed and engaging even when played softly.  Some systems do tend toward "shouting" at extremely high volume levels, but, I hardly care about that because I don't like to listen at that kind of level.  Moreover, the very best amps, to me, are all low in power and can deliver great sound without having to "raise the roof."  I don't care if a system is unable to achieve rock concert listening levels; if my system ever sounded as bad a rock concert, it would be gone the next day.

then you get to something like Celine Dions voice and you have to leave the room because it's very sharp.

Not sure I'd want to be at that party...........

Well listening to Tri of Triplanars field coil horn system certainly enlightened me to the strengths of horns as have a few other systems I have heard throughout the years. Exposure to these better horn speakers had given me a appreciation of this type.  Low level detail is one of the greatest strengths of horns.

I do feel however that many horn users underpower their speakers and this has nothing to do with volume just some of the intrinsic problems present with SET amps. If I were to go horn I would use OTLs, which are the amps I use on my dynamic speakers currently. 

I have yet to hear a dynamic woofer integrate well with horns. I have only heard horn loaded woofers a few times and this was really special, but this didnt change what I dont like about horns just made the system more cohesive.

my listen levels never pass 80dB 10 feet away 
especially with two years twins and 6 years boy all over me at any moment 😂😂😂

to me I think the strength of a horn speakers is able to sounds great @  low volume 
I use tone control in the night for low volume listen 

With my two horn set up I have try to switch one to different speakers but I haven’t got any full tower speakers with great dynamics  under 6k that I like

one of the speakers I may interested in future is legacy aeris but I can’t afford it 😂😂😂 

I think $2000.00 is fair for V1s in great condition like that. Mine are version 1 and they are getting very hard to find. I thought that yours might be version 2 lordrootamn because the dust caps on the woofers looked shinier than mine.
