Any bookshelves with horn-loaded tweeters?


I am looking for bookshelf speakers with horn-loaded tweeters.

I prefer two-way speakers. I found that JBL studio 530 and a number of Klipsch bookshelf speakers satisfy my need. But I am not sure if they sound good.

I am looking for more options, of audiophile/hifi quality.

Klipsch Reference monitors are inexpensive monitors which sound very good with tube electronics.I have a pair of Comete 30th Anniversary Cometes which are excellent monitors that use horn loaded tweeters. The 30th Anniversary Cometes are significantly better than the standard Cometes which I used to own and are very good monitors that offer great value at their price point and also need tubes to sound their best.
The Triangle 30th Anniversary Cometes have a much better tweeter than the standard Cometes which is "trickled down" from the flagship Magellan series. It also has upgrades wired and a modified cabinet and woofer although I don't know the particular details of these upgrades. I do know that they are a significant improvement over the standard Cometes, which are liked very much, across the board. Superior tonality, improved quantity and quality of bass, more detailed mids, much more refined highs and a warmer overall character while still being a touch lean. I used my Ayon Spirit 3 in triode and pentode, as well as a Unison Unico SE hybrid with great results. The Unison is a mosfet design so it is a little on the warm side, but the standard Comete I had didn't do as well with solid state and worked very well with my EL34 bases JWN 35 wpc push pull. As one would expect with an EL34 it is a warm amp, but with an excellent midrange.
