RE: I think it is exponential ..

The designs of horns and tubes today are anything but retro, with some exceptions for restored Altecs and JBLs etc. However, much of that technology was never really bettered and new designs are taking advantage of materials advancements that probably make the most difference.

It was funny listening to the "baby" Western Electric system they had in Munich this year (it was NOT domestic friendly). It was the ONLY system at the show that brought tears to my wife's eyes (literally). While we both agreed the Living Voice/Kondo system was more realistic in like being at a real concert, the WE/Silbatone system was utterly involving and moving. Imperfect, for sure, but in ways that matter far less than you think. I doubt your system will move someone in the same way...i have heard very few that do.
