What does one purchase after owning horns?

I have owned Avantgarde Uno's and sold them because of the lack of bass to horn integration. I loved the dynamics, the midrange and highs. Now faced with a new speaker purchase, I demo speakers and they sound lifeless and contrived. The drama and beauty of live music and even the sound of percussion insturments like a piano are not at all convincing. I have an $8k budget for speakers give or take a thousand. My room is 13'X26' firing down the length. Any good ideas will be appreciated. My music prefrences are jazz/jazz vocalist.

Volti Audio Vittoras....These All Horn Loudspeakers 'do integrate' as they are all horn loudspeakers. The cello is a cello with these. Exceeding smooth, not detailed for the sake of being detailed like so many loudspeakers. Ultimately satisfying.

But please remember that Klipsch is a mass marketer. The parts within their products are not sourced for the ultimately best sound, ie. as a cost no object product. Volti Audio seeks to make each product the best possible, and they are not trying to scratch every penny out of the deal. Just take a look at the detail of the original Vittoras. Does Klipsch put any thought into how to improve a 2'x'2'x3' box. Most certainly not, but Volti Audio does and that is a major reason I bought their product. And then there is the wonderful sound. The same applies here, which makes me so very glad that I bought Volti.
