inherent design flaws with a 3 way, 15" / 8" / horn (large tower) speaker?

hello

I see precious few classic large 3-ways (15" woofer 8" mid and a large horn) being developed these days, at least amongst the speaker designers I run across.

Is there an INHERENT reason, other than size, why a large tower-style speaker can't match the musicality of what seems to be the dominant designs these days (2-way bookshelf, or MTM)?

Today I heard Western Electric 2 way 100db/W speakers with horn and 18 inch woofer in Korea.

It has the most dynamic and natural sound that I had heard for the last 10 years.

It will be my dream speakers.

But with cost of 250 K$, it is not easy to make decision to get it.

Also it is huge and heavy requiring large and high listening room.
