Horn Speaker Recommendations


I am looking for your feedback on what Horn speakers I should consider in the $15k-$40k price range.  Please describe the rationale for your recommendations.

It might be helpful to know what you are pairing the speakers with.  Would you need new amp?  Be able to use higher demanding speakers? etc.  


I would take a listen to the Rethm Saadhana.  They are a beautiful speaker in both sound and looks. 

 Loudspeaker sensitivity: 100 db/w/m. 
Impedance: 8 ohms. 
Frequency response: 22 Hz to 20 Khz. (60 Hz to 20kHz from wideband driver) Below that from the powered bass (x 3 in each enclosure) that blends in seamlessly
Minimum amplification power: 2 wpc  (A low watt tube amp sounds wonderful - no need to spend the extra $ on high watt amplification)
They have a powered bass built in so no need for a subwoofer
Sound - great detail, tone, no fatigue.  My last speaker.  And < 20K.
Gestalt HiFi (no affiliation, I just have had great service from Mike there) in Santa Fe has if close enough to drop in there.

I would be curious to get your opinion on the Rethm Saadhana (if you have heard them).  They have powered bass built in (obviously not horn) but designed to avoid the disconnect and goes down to 18Hz.  I find their sound wonderful (but obviously that is my opinion).  Did you hear a disconnect?
Obviously,, the Rethm would be pricier than your suggestion, but less 'work' as a plug and play so to say.

Thanks

Sorry, I am curious as you seem quite knowledgeable and I am relatively new to horns.  I have only heard unmodified Klipsch and I preferred the Rethm to these.  Thanks again
