Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15


I am looking for some advice on some horn loaded full range speakers that sound good at low volumes. Mainly for 2 ch use. I will be using them with primaluna prologue 2 tube amp (40w x 2). Dynamics and shouldn't induce listening fatigue due to harsh mids or highs.

Listening taste ranges from classical to classic rock to great old jazz. I have read that the Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics Pro dynamics series are quite smooth sounding. Has anybody heard these two speakers?

A point to reckon because the upgradidtis has been happening a little to often to me. But am hoping a good horn will make me forget the gear and buy music instead.
How about the Cornscalas? They are supposedly having the bass of cornwalls and the open mids and highs of the Lascalas? Has any body built these by Bob Crites design? I have exchanged emails with him and he seems like a true gentleman. Since I havent heard either the Cornwalls or Lascalas I was wondering if sometime who has actually built / heard them can comment on their sound?
Thanks Br3098. So despite my intial skepticism about horns I decided to build myself the Wayne Parham Four Pi speakers with the upgraded drivers and stock crossovers. And I am not a skeptic anymore. The midrange and dynamics of this pair absolutely kills the Quad 22L2 that I am replacing. Very coherent sounding in my 18' x 22' living room. I have just been listening to them for a few days. The 4 pis are designed to be pretty flat from 16kHz to 50Hz after which they roll off quickly. F10 = 30 Hz. There is good usable extension down to 40 Hz in my living room even before the woofer break in. The speakers are seeing probably less than 1 watt most of the time. After the 2226 woofer breaks freq response from 50Hz to 30 Hz is supposedly to increase by as much as 10 db. So they are best when used with a couple of subs crossed over high (~ 100Hz) and barely audible to slightly augment and smooth out bass response. WAF in the living room is preventing me from getting subs currently. I have to figure out a way to awaken the JBL 2226 woofer by pumpimg ~ 60 watts or so. I am estimating that would be ~ 110 db at my listening position! Have to do this when the wife and kids aren't home!
