Attention Horn Owners


Hey guys. I’m in the middle of making a few changes and seek your wisdom and help. Doing my research for speakers, I currently own Audio Note e/lx, and I think I might need a little more bass presence. These are wonderful, natural sounding speakers but I’m debating a change. Slightly more efficient would be nice, the AN’s are listed at 94db but some say measure closer to 92db. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Now for the post title. Doing my research I came across Volti. I like purchasing American made when I can, my amp and preamp are Aric Audio. I’ve never heard a horn speaker before. Reviews of some say they tend to be bright, which is a no go for my sensitive ears. Reviews did mention that Volti are not bright. So, any comments regarding ear fatigue and horn speakers or Volti speakers would be fantastic. 
‘Finally, I live on Long Island. If there is any nearby who would be kind enough to allow me to listen to a horn speaker, there’s a six pack or bottle of wine in it for you! lol. I’d love to hear a pair before I spend 1 million hours researching different ones. Thanks in advance. Earthbound

It would be wrong not to listen to DeVORE speakers. They are manufactured near you. Not horns but you are looking for speakers that offer more resolution and perhaps a little more bass...check out the o baby's.. do not underestimate the output or the bass they are capable of.

One thing I found out as a dealer for 20 years is that there is a huge difference between horns and soft dome tweeters. You might think you should find a horn for more efficiency and end up with less of what you really appreciate from your current speakers. 

something to think about. you best listen first.
