Used Avantgarde Acoustic horn speakers is another option.

Let’s not forget that most options mentioned from Klipsch and Volti I would classify as “hybrids”. Horn loaded mid and hi frequency drivers, ported dynamic woofers.

Gotta buy the Volti Vittora, Klipsch Klipschorn, LaScala or Heritage Jubilee for true 

horn loading from top to bottom.

The advantage of extremely efficient speakers is that it allows you to use SET amps. I've had Avantgarde Duos for a long time, not necessarily recommending them-- they require supplemental woofers and in my experience, a change in front end- but I've been using Lamm ML2s for a long time and those amps are musical as hell. I would suggest that you consider both the speaker and amplifier because the relationship is critical. I moved from some highly regarded cartridges-- Lyras and Airtights, and it was only changing to the Koetsu stone bodies that made a real difference-- particularly in the bass region. I now have fully dimensional bass, but added subwoofers and DSP'd them to get the lower regions to accomplish what the mid-high frequency spectrum was capable of.

Volti Lucera owner here, formerly a Klipsch Heritage guy. I love my Luceras, and no way are they grainy, or lacking in the low end. It was a pleasure dealing wth Greg Roberts at Volti. I got to select the veneer (Paduak), and he got them done and shipped to my door in about 2 months. They are gorgeous and floor me every time I experience them. Highly recommended!

Greg is a heck of a guy. Obviously puts his all into his product. Additionally he’s great at answering questions, making sure you the consumer are fully satisfied. I never felt any pressure from him and I spent a full day with he and his wife. The experience was more like finding a kindred spirit and hanging out with an easy friend while being immersed in some sweet HiFi. 
highly recommend potential customers see if meeting Greg at his shop is possible. It was an experience I’ll not soon forget.
