I value all your opinions and thank you for taking the time. It's difficult purchasing new speakers. I had closed my mind to the possibility of horns until I listened emotionaly as opposed analytical. Not something I do to often. I believe this was a result of the speakers. I can't afford the Avantgarde with the half horn bass cabinet. They sell for $50K with no U.S. distributor. I don't have that kinda cash nor would I ever purchase a product with out recourse.
