Looking for my Final Pair!!

Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence.  I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire.  I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians.  I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down!  So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s?  Help

Dave_B,

your posts are making me want a pair. They are very cheap too, well compared to everything else I want. 
As for the technical issues with horns, I can’t say I care. When I started in audio I read all the white papers and was interested in all the tech. Graphene, Kevlar, diamonds, beryllium, fancy this fancy that....

twenty years later I have found I just like good old paper drivers and silk tweeters, in a damped box just fine. Often more than high tech items. 
I have heard some very high tech speakers sound pretty unnatural (all very popular with good reviews). Often simpler is better. Get the big key items right.

Dear @dave_b  : Of course MUSIC is objective with the astonishing power to moves the human been deep emotions/feelings in subjective way because MUSIC develops different kind of subjective emotions with different gentlemans.

MUSIC use the stave, notes have can have different scale tones and evenpitch, harmonics are " metric " series, has different of SPLs, it must be accurated and can be measured, etc, etc all those is objective what is subjective/objective is the composer score.

Nothing wrong that you follow enjoying your new toy.

The Bozak’s I mentioned earlier barely wet down to 45HZ and maybe hit 18KHZ?  Sounded like music.  Cornwall’s have that same ability, but with scale and presence!

"Yes, I know that all of you like it but that is subjective and MUSIC is objective, accurated and its harmonics goes way beyond 16khz-20kz."

And you still wonder why people talk about you Raul? More outrageous, unsupportable statements...that's why.
