"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" is my basic message here, which is not to say that there is never room to climb higher.
If you can get to a spot where you are happy and entertained, enjoy it for as long as it lasts.
805, 1005, 1505 are all pretty good platforms I'd think. Any of those could be close to the end of the line if you get them dialed in to where they suit your preferences well.
Beyond that, there is Western Electric!
I will say, though, that I have not met many 1505 owners who complain about them much. It is not a fool's mission aspiring to own a pair if you can get them.

Hey Joe, thanks for the message. I'm waiting to hear about some 1005bs, but I'd really like to get my hands on the 1505b, especially after what you said about them. It would appear I'm a day late and a dollar short! ;-)
Best,
Jeff
Grab what you can, Bro. You won't lose money on 1005Bs!!
I think you will delighted with them after you do the work to dial them in.
Hopefully, the nagging dream of 15 cells will dissipate as you are enjoying those 1005s!

Thanks Joe! :-)
A reason the 1005 may have caused issues for Joe could be his use of a ported cabinet that was most likely out of time and the midhorn to low. Out of time = hot beaming sound to low again would cause issues when one stood. These horns are far more similar than different, radiation pattern does not cause the issues I've read in Joe's report. As with all things YMMV and because my opinions and experience are different than another's does not invalidated their experience.
Thanks for the message, Kloss, I appreciate the feedback.
Best,
Jeff
