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
https://www.google.com/amp/s/audiobacon.net/2019/04/18/rethm-maarga-v2-loudspeakers-listening-sessio...
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

Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”


i have been looking for 30 years, haven't found em yet - let me know when you do ok?
No proper horn is shouty.


i would have to disagree w this, based on my experience... i have had good well respected horn speakers, and also heard some very very tip top horn systems, and to me there is still noticeable horn/shouty coloration
Apparently not the tippy top yet, or something to that effect :)


well if we specifically define non shouty horns as ’tippy top’ then i suppose you are correct

over the years i have heard avantgarde duos/trios, sadurnis, klipschorns and cornwalls, tune audio animas, cessaros ... maybe none designed properly or were set up correctly

i have not heard western electric theater horns in a domesticated environment though...

Need help please, got the charneys the companion , and the charneys 300b amp and preamp. Got the western electric 300 b tubes and nos tubes from andy at vintage tubes . Brian Charney came over to set up the system. I find the system lacking in bass and thickness of musical presentation. It’s thin and weak the presentation .

i think i said this in another post a while back, covering a similar topic... i have been looking for 40 years now (okay, maybe 25-30)... still looking... 😞😞😞
