Good, Affordable Horns?

I've often thought about adding a pair of horn loaded speakers, like say a pair of Klipsch La Scala, to my collection, but I've not heard enough horn loaded speakers to really know the differences, or what works and what doesn't. What are some good ones for under say $2K? What do these give up say compared to some of the larger and more expensive horn loaded speakers I've seen in AUdiogon user systems? The Jadis Eurythmie are one such pair I've seen that appear out of this world, but also must cost a small fortune.

Klipschorns have been in production since 1945. That says a lot right there. And to my knowledge the laws of physics haven't changed since then.

Since 1945, the people at Klipsch have improved the components in their Heritage line products. Including the Klipschorn.

Visit www.Klipsch.com. There are many knowledgeable people there with great setups who wouldn't think of trading them for anything else. I visit there daily.

Also, checkout the LaScala II review in stereophile magazine.

I have heard the "older" LaScalas with tube amplification. They make other speakers sound like toys. Except for other horns.
