horn or line array?

LOL Infinity IRS IV (1988), or the more modern Genesis 1 vs Klipsch Jubilee (2022) = Alien vs Predator.   

For jazz, i’d go with Klipschorn AK6 and a high quality Dennis Had Inspire 300b SET amp, stick them in the corner and pick your favorite source, vinyl, CD or stream, keep the chain simple and revel in Miles Davis visiting your listening room in person.

Cheers
 

Arion,

I heard your speakers at Capital Audiofest.  I am a fan/owner of a horn-based system, but, I like a lot of other types of speakers.  I really liked your speaker, even if I don't think it sounds like any particular horn system.  It is a BIG plus that it can be used with lower powered amps because I particularly like the sound of low-powered tube amps.  I liked your speakers with all of the types of music I heard, but was particularly impressed with its handling orchestral music; it managed to get the weight and scale of the music right without having to be cranked up to excessive levels. 

I hope you are back at this year's show. 

I have a set of Magnepans which are dipole, and they do pretty good with certain jazz. Pianos sound lovely in particular. But my cornwalls are my go to for horns and anything rock related. Horns may be your best bet all around for jazz music. Hope this helps

Only your ears can hear the sound you are looking for.  Get a few pairs of each and decide for yourself.

After playing Sceana 3.2(line array) for several months, I am back to Lansche 4.1 with plasma tweeter.

Although Scaena 3.2 give very clean treble, Lanshce 4.1 give more pristine treble with exquisite details.

Female vocal sounds more fantastic with Lansche 4.1

Thus I will not let Lansche 4.1 go😀

Horn speakers tend to give good dynamics but with some horn coloration.

Line array speaker tend to give wide and deep soundstage but need large room.

Although Lansche speaker is not either horn or line array it works well with jazz and pop music.
