Horn speakers for vintage sound

Hi Shawarma, I read your question and thought I'd give my experience. I have two completes systems; the first is built around Altec Voice of the Theater components, the second is built around Theil CP3's. I prefer the sound of the VOT's. It's one of the best systems I've heard. 515B Woofer; 811B Sectorial horn; 802B hf driver; N-800-D crossover in an enclosure built to Altec's plans. They are efficient. The 15" woofers were reconed by Great Plains Audio. I can recommend them, they do excellent work. Talk to the folks at GP, they can build something for you from genuine Altec parts.

If you would like a slightly upgraded version of the classic American horn/big woofer concept, and you are DIY-savvy, Pi Speakers might fill the bill.

5k goes a long way with Pi Speakers.

Also, USAM has a nice used Volti Razz going for under 4k, and a nice-looking CornScala for under 2k.  

Finally, there are several used Altec Model 19s available for 5 grand or less that should fill the bill.  

I have not heard any Shinjitsu Audio speakers myself, but, I find their design fascinating and the price is reasonable.  Their speakers utilize a horn midrange/top end and a back-loaded quarter wave woofer of small diameter.
