Horns with good timbre and tonality?


I’m looking into buying a pair of horns for my next speaker. I sold my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE. Looking for a more realistic, more lively sound. I’ve heard the Triangle Magellan and enjoyed the sound, but wonder if there is better.

I appreciate speed and dynamics with good timbre and tonality. I know horns are good with speed and dynamics, but not sure if they can do timbre and tonality like SF can.

Looking at German Blumenhofer FS1 / FS2, French Triangle magellan, Fleetwood deville, Avantgarde.

It will be paired with Mastersound 845 Evolution SET or Auris Fortissimo amp.

Room size 40 x 15 x 8 feet

Must realistically play Solo Piano, Cello and full scale symphony.

If you are looking for realistic piano, cello and symphony, have a listen to Martin Logan Renaissance ESL 15A.

These puppies have everything you are looking for: speed, dynamics, timbre and tonality.

As a musician, I find that these faithfully reproduce that "musicians in the room with you" sound. However, they do require a lot of space around them.

I’m not familiar with horns, but my experience with ATC speakers is that they very much reproduce a “live” sound.

ATC is hard to drive with low powered tubes. I’m thinking about trying horns.
