@fast - take a look at the Avantgarde range. They are the most impressive speakers I have heard in the last 2-3 years.
I only listened seriously to their Duo model, but the ZERO range that is in your snack bracket ($15000)
The Duo is outside your price range, but it was the most "forgiving" speaker from a "placement" perspective - i.e. I listened to them in a rather large demo room with gear all around and their image was was precise, 3D and very large.
One of the most invisible speakers I have come across.
I did listen briefly to the ZERO - it too was impressive from a fidelity perspective, but I did not have time to really concentrate on imaging.
There are many other horns on the market, so perhaps they also would be worth a look - hree's a few
