There may be beaming - I sit in the same place when I listen and can only wish I could convince someone to come over and listen so what is called beaming by many I call focus.
You can barely see the FOSTEX t500's in the photo. They come in around 10K. The 2441's are not limited on the top end.
I am confused by upper bass horn? Do you mean what I am calling the sub500 horns? If you are there is simply no comparison in tonal quality, spaciousness in all directions and detail. I can assure you they are much better but am not practiced at the art of audiospeak in addition to the fact I do not know anyone with a big stereo system to compare - I can only compare to live music.
Not about to claim I have captured the sound of live music but there is much greater sense of dynamics - drums in both symphonic and rock settings have much greater realism. I wish they sounded real but there is much improved coherence of the initial impact and the overtones - there is a greater revealing of the overtones - both skin/head and shells.
Listening to the old warhorse - the Gershwin RHAPSODY/AMERICAN IN PARIS/Boston/Fiedler one can be almost overwhelmed by the sense of the hall the recording was made in. I thought I had had decent sound before but I have never heard anything like this.
I know there is more work to do which is pretty exciting.
