Here is what I did. I took the Klipshorn and replaced the mid-range with an Altec 288-16K driver and 1005B horn. I built a simple single order crossover. I have been happily living with this setup for around 5 years now. I haven't heard anything yet that makes me want to upgrade. I find the Altec drivers and horns very listenable and non-fatiguing and I run them from 400hz to 6Khz. - Although they will go out to 15khz. - But I am using a tweeter. Who knows what the 'best horn and driver is'?

I myself did not find the Khorn midrange unlistenable, but I was listening to SET amps driving them. If you heard the Khorn midrange with some high power Sand Amps, I could understand your comment. I found the Khorn Midrange freq response limited and the horn itself a bit 'congested' when compared to the Bigger Altecs. So what amplification did you hear the Khorns with? What are you planning to use for amplification?
