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

@newtoncr, Have you heard the Charney gear in another system/room where it overcame the issues you're describing? Have you played everything enough hours for break-in yet? Cheers,
Spencer
@newtoncr,
You seem pretty tight with ASC, how about posing the question to them? 
I would hesitate to start messing w/cables and tweaks for this stuff until you've maximized the placement & setup and convinced yourself this gear is definitely a keeper. 
FWIW, I've only heard  a couple of horn setups that do any of what you're after, although they certainly have plenty of immediacy and other strengths....tradeoffs...always tradeoffs. Since the designer setup the rig, did he comment that HE thought is was sounding like it should? If yes, oh no!
Hate to ask but is seeking a refund or selling them on the table? Sorry to poke my head down the darkened hallway! Cheers,
Spencer
