Horn Speaker Recommendations

It has been awhile but I thought I would update everyone on my speaker purchase.  After going through an exhaustive period of research and listening I have decided on Viking Acoustic Grande Voix.  I am custom ordering them in a black main cabinet with the horn being a natural wood.  They take around 4 months to build.  They have just picked out the timbers for the horns.  
Now my next steps will be to try and sell the Mola Mola Amplifiers I purchased and never used for a different speaker and match a tube amplifier with the Grande Voix. 

The Mola Mola Kaluga and Makua's  are gone and I have settled on amps for the Grande Voix.  On order is the Canary Audio Grand Reference 2 Monoblocks and the C1800 two chassis Pre-amps.  Hopefully, this will be my be all end all system with my Lumin X-1 and Inakustic 3500P power conditioner.  

I just uploaded a first look at my new Viking Acoustic Grande Voix speakers under willgolf's system.  I hope to take delivery next week. It has taken a year to build.  I can't wait to get them.  A nice X-mas present for me.  

The design looks off to me has bell blockage no time alignments.
 

@willgolf   -  beautiful speakers - may I ask if there was a particular reason that you choose the pro studio version?
PS - if you don't treat yourself well what's the point lol

Johnk---they are time aligned....see spec

Facten1 ---to funny, I did not know what you were talking about until I went to the website and saw Pro Studio. He uploaded my speakers to the website yesterday.  I will have to ask him.  I do know I requested a few upgrades.

Pro Studio relates to the paint treatment I requested and a larger resonator than the original design.  My speakers were voiced to accommodate my cavernous room.  It is 20'w x 35'L with ceiling starting at 12' going to 16' at peak.  Horns can have a tendency to be extremely bright and forward.  In my case, the sound will be slight less forward which is perfect for my room.  I will be able to maximize my low level listening when combined with my Canary Audio Grand Reference 125wpc 300B tube amps.  By the way, the Amps have a combined 16 300B tubes.  Having a massive 18" subwoofer will provide me a perfect complement of bass.

As soon as I receive and hook up all of the new equipment I will be providing a detailed analysis.

Thanks willgolf, looking forward to your listening impressions

A new update as of this week.  I am changing all of my equipment.  Gone will be Canary Audio Grand Reference 300 B Monoblocks, Canary Audio C1800 PRe Amp, Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Speakers, and my Lampizator Horizon DAC.  I have to say this was an outstanding system for me and my wife loved the speakers.

In will be an all Aries Cerat Line-up with the exception of my Lucas Audio LDMS Music server.  

Aries Cerat Essentia Monoblocks

Aries Cerat Ageto Preamp

Aries Cerat Kassandra 2 Reference DAC

Aries Cerat Aurora Horn speakers.  

I started this thread a couple of years ago and my journey has been fun and great but this system is my LAST system period.  

@willgolf 

Are the Aurora a new speaker in their line? I didn't see it on their website. The speakers are unique looking, but beautiful.

@roxy ---Yes, relatively new in the last 6 months.  The Aries Cerat needs some major updating.  WBF has an Aries Cerat Thread showing pictures and talking about the Aurora.  I believe there is only one pair in the USA right now.  I was able to listen to them.
