Fullrange horns for nearfield listening?

Since I'd like to buy a classic horn (Tannoy Westminster or something with a Altec 604 driver) for my 2nd listening room I'd like your advice/experience with a listening distance of ca. 1,5m. I belive that in this situation a coaxial driver is important but maybe I'm wrong. However, I want 20-30 Hz bass as well, so fullrange is a must.

I listen to my Edgarhorn 100's nearfield and run an Edgarhorn sub with them.

A concentric driver will sound best in your nearfield set up. Bass to about 35hz depending on cabinets and driver choice. Do you hsve a price range in mind?

They'll work fine. I'm using a pair of modified Ardens that are about 8' from me. Being so close, I could probably use a SET amp for most of my listening.
