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.

After reading all f the banter while listening to my a 1964 original pressing of A Love Supreme on my Uno's, I just want more. Chad's correct, get more Avantgarde and you'll be happy.

And remember....don't feed the trolls!
Thank you all for the educational posts. Yes, I meant Eurythmie and I saw that posted system - looks very impressive. Well, we moved a little away from the OP but I think it is helpful; I would guess that not many have an experience with high-end horn speakers.
I have nver considered horns until I herd the Avantgarde Duo, and Duo Omega. They did all the hifi stuff, imaging, ect. and then there were dynamics and then more dynamics, micro, macro, speed of electrostatics, timber, harmonics to die for. There was not a trace of horn honking, shouty, edgy stuff that I associated with some horns in the 60's & 70's.
The only problem was the acoustic bass did not keep up with the lower midrange horn. Maybe it was the cross over point or the inability of the subs to cover high enuff. I for one could not get it right. God I tried.
Has any one herd the Devore Orangutan's? They may exceed my budget? But from people whom I trust they claimed they are well designed, efficient, with many of the attributes I enjoy. So they say!
Weseixas, I believe it was you who said this was not a horn thread. If you read the original post by Renmeister, and I recommend you read it slowly or have some one read it to you, he is talking about 1 problem only. That was the integration or "coherence" of the bass to the horns. He does speak of attributes of what he enjoyed and speaks of weaknesses of things he has been listening to. I wish we can all be adults. Renmeister, maybe you should listen to a pair of Klipsch Lascala series 2. I believe they need to be raised off the floor (I like them with a slight tilt back) and you can keep them near the rear wall. Like any speaker, they will need room tweaking, but they might allow you to "get into the music" and forget about all this other BS. I am not suggesting they are the best, but at your price point you might be able to "stack a pair".
The Acoustic Horn AH 300 may be the best mid range horn available to mankind. The guys who designed and built the Cogent Field Coil driver chose it to showcase their product. You can have a pair custom built for you with adapters hand made for the drivers you choose to use for $2700/pair in maple. Other wood choices require a small upcharge.

Because this horn can reach down as low as 350 Hz. it is easier to integrate with your dynamic woofers than horns which have to cross higher.

In the context of high-end audio, this option is neither large or expensive -and the high efficiency allows you to use tiny amplifiers. My 15 watt amplifier loafs along.

I hope this helps you.
