Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”

I am interested in a high efficiency horn with SET AMPS, in a 12 ft by 18 ft room. 9 ft ceiling .
I have narrowed my choices down to Charney audio Excalibur http://charneyaudio.com/the-companion-excalibur.html
and rethm maarga v2

would appreciate input from any one who has heard the above speakers or someone who has a similar system . 
listening choices are vocal music , no classical music.
Very rarely might want my system to play loud party music .(extremely rare ) does not have to play it like solid state system. Thanks in advance

Just like some ears prefer the characteristics of vinyl - with all its known colourings - so might some prefer the sound a horn gives them.
Speaking for myself, my very large back-loaded horns are perfect for the large room we live most of our life in. My monitors in the studio are perfect for that task. My line arrays are where the band moves about a lot. Different colours for different listens.
The key thing is to couple the driver(s) to the room in the right way for you.
