Alternatives to horns

I finally came to a firm decision the other day. I'm done with horns. I have tried 3 pairs of Klipsch speakers. The KLF-10, Quartet, and the Cornwall 1. They all had a different sound, but they all had two things in common.

-They sounded very live and had pinpoint accuracy that could not be touched by any non-horn speaker on some music.

-Other music is harsh to the point that it literally drives me out of the room. Certain frequencies just hurt my ears and sound way too loud at any volume.

I've held out for years due to the first characteristic, but the second one is starting to bother me to the point that I am ready for a change.

I've been reading about the Tekton Lore and it's big brother, the Pendragon.

These seem to be a good alternative to horns. Still high efficiency, but without the pain of horns. Are there any other alternative in this price range that I should be considering?
