John,
Also check out the posts by DeadFish a little further back. He's using the Horn Shoppe Horns with his s.e.x. amp and loves the combination. I have a pair of the same Horns that I've just finished a bunch of tweaks to, but got sidetracked on my s.e.x. build, but I trust DeadFish to know ahat sounds good with these speakers.
I've heard the Horns and BK-16s and there's no comparison, the Horns are the hands-down better speaker. Also about 96/97 dB sensitive.
I'm sitting here using a 3 watt SE EL84 amp (albeit a very good one) into the Horns and listening to Pepe Romero with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the source is a Sony D25S discman, the volume is at 1:00 and I'm floored by what I'm hearing.
This weekend I hope to finish the ballast loading of the void in the bottom of the Horns and switch over to my Wavelength dac and get the Cube bass augmentor setup, and then this could be in contention for the best system I've ever had, and at a fraction of the price of some of the old ones I've had.
