Horns with good timbre and tonality?

I’m looking into buying a pair of horns for my next speaker. I sold my Sonus Faber Elipsa SE. Looking for a more realistic, more lively sound. I’ve heard the Triangle Magellan and enjoyed the sound, but wonder if there is better.

I appreciate speed and dynamics with good timbre and tonality. I know horns are good with speed and dynamics, but not sure if they can do timbre and tonality like SF can.

Looking at German Blumenhofer FS1 / FS2, French Triangle magellan, Fleetwood deville, Avantgarde.

It will be paired with Mastersound 845 Evolution SET or Auris Fortissimo amp.

Room size 40 x 15 x 8 feet

Must realistically play Solo Piano, Cello and full scale symphony.

Do you think they can reproduce dynamics ?

ATC is hard to drive with low powered tubes. I’m thinking about trying horns.

What about Blumenhofer? Anyone hear them? 
 

Klipsch jubilee had terrible timbre and tone. 
 

I can’t audition avantgarde.

What about OMA speakers ? Those look serious. I’m going to check out their showroom in Brooklyn. Did anyone get to hear them ?

very interesting speaker Classics. Have you had a chance to listen to them? They’re located in Jakarta, seems like a wild place to ship from. 
 

did you hear Volti?

how good is imaging with large baffle ATC? I have a large baffle Sonus Faber and imaging is terrible, I can make them disappear at all. I tried everything.
