Acuhorn 125 with Leben 15w amp


The specs line up so looking at this for second system (other room is croft / atc P1/ Harbeth 30.1) not looking for the same sound so interested in horn which will also do some movie duty. Other possibility in Klipsch heresy III..... anyone tried the acuhorn as read the few reviews but like hearing from real people .... ta rich

I tried with my Harbeth 30.1 which was fine at lower volume but not with any gusto in my 7.5x5.5x3.5m tall main lounge. My old tv setup was a pmc21 and this was
clear in mids but again wasn’t pushing enough air. Pulled out old kef104ab speakers and this
was smoother but felt a bit flabby in delivery. (And then discovered v small tear in cone) also pulled out daughters speaker wharfedale 9.1 diamond (£90) and surprisingly this sprang alive but speaker is pretty high in delivery of treble (so listening to Johnny cash I hear
cymbals in delivery more than his sonerous tones)
but amp is pretty open and transparent and I don’t recall any overblown treble apart from through wharfedale. The same circuit is used for headphone - and this is unbelievable - I liked my Arcam rHead presentation until I heard the Leben. 
Joni Mitchell now on wharfedale and treble on this is tiring ....
THX ratings are 110 or 112 db
I probably misrepresented the movie factor - I merely need it to support the occasional movie - not be a cinematic experience and just something better that the TVs built in speakers.
the amp is mainly for headphone use when I am being thoughtful of neighbours - but occasionally it does lighter music duties.
