Given your budget, you should consider going to New Jersey (Charney) or the Washington DC area (Deja Vu) to get a good audition. The other choice would be to attend a show that has some of the brands you are interested in. Although shows often don't present speakers at their best, they at least will give you more than any description or review can ever deliver.
Although they are not horn speakers, Voxativ makes systems that have similar characteristics--dynamic, vivid, good at lower volume levels. Another brand (also not horns) to look into is Trenner and Friedl. Someone, above mentioned Rethm speakers; I heard their $3,000 model (Bhaava) a couple of years ago and they were quite impressive. The Rethm had the liveliness of full range speakers (they use a full range driver plus a powered subwoofer), but none of the excessive peakiness that is common to full range systems). The Rethm was like a bargain Charney in sound quality.
