I LOVE the immediacy and dynamics that seemingly only a horn system can provide. However, I cannot tolerate the shoutiness and coloration that every such system I've experienced has imparted.
I could almost tolerate my ex's Klipsch KG5.5s (once I modified them & put a CJ PV5 preamp in the system.)
Otherwise, I've gone running from the room while trying to listen to various Klipsch (La Scala being the absolute worst), Classic Audio Reproductions (T1 and T3), and an Avantgarde Duo (which I SO wanted to like because I could have purchsed for almost nothing because the owner had the same impression that I did...)
I have heard one Klipschorn setup that seemed pretty awesome, but it was in a dedicated space and matched with components that ameliorated any ill effects - not something I could copy in any space I have available.
