Sound beyond Horns?

Posted by catbert242000@yahoo.com (A) on November 13, 2021 at 13:17:58

I have been a horn speaker lover / owner for many years. All the better Klipsch speakers over the years. Now I have some EV Aristocrats, (folded horn Klipsch design ) and my main Altecs with 416 woofers / 811B horns. These are fairly sensitive or efficient speakers in the 95+ range.

I am happy with the sound, the mid range super great and bottom is solid. At my age, high frequency range may be futile.

But I am curious, is there another speaker world out there that I am missing? Perhaps I should look at some other modern speaker systems. Suggestions?

My current amplifier inventory includes the following ( nothing high powered )

Marantz 2238B. 38 watts. SS
MP 301 MK3. 6.5 watts. Tube
HK 7550 AVR. 105 watts. SS

What type of high end speakers might be an upgrade?
