Modern pro audio is designed for different end goals than home hifi. Still lots of great vintage pro audio that works well in homes and with SET. Also if one has the stones for it vintage cinema horns were designed for low power tube amplifiers and have a wonderful sound quality so relaxed not forced, Most benefit from crossover redesign and added tweeters but end results stunning. I run my RCA horns with 8 watt SET even jaded industry types have been seduced and keep returning with LPs to spin.

and a Taylor horn from a Magnavox etc. efficiency is a great thing with being able to use low power SET and other tube gear the benefit. But they all need modding to make them usable to my ear. Even high dollar Avant Gardes get on my nerves after a while and they are among the least offensive horns I've hear. It's just not a good match for my ear.

You sir, have shown a photo of a 1956 gullwing Mercedes to someone with the budget for a Mazda Miata... of course, a lot of fun can be had with a Miata too, so all is not lost. That RCA setup looks spectacular, I would like to hear one before my time is up.
