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.

I am currently using Beauhorn Virtuosos with Wavelength 300b or 45 amps, and I'm extremely happy with this set-up. Either combination can easily overpower my small apartment. I will be moving within a year to a house. I plan to then utilize my JBL 4550 horns. 300Bs on bottom and 45s on top with an electronic crossover. My additional plan is to be staying with these.
Some own "many speakers", listing among them six differing types... Others instead, own just "one" pair that they are happy with!! My JBL 4550's will be in my living room when I move. :)
Larry, with your given audible strengths, you may never be truly happy. Tho, they will have you striving for the highest level. Possibly, your goal is unobtainable... neverless you will reach a damn high bar with that fortitude! :)
My mother always told me that she saw nothing wrong in a healthy debate.... of course, she was always the initiator! (instigator) Love those moms
