Wide dispersion + high efficiency + detail + coherence in a speaker?


And coherence is the biggest point! I like the liveliness of single driver speakers but I am looking for something with coherence AND bass! High efficiency is important for liveliness, and wide dispersion for a huge sweet spot and instruments in the room presentation.

Any recommendations?

atmosphere,
That sounds like a heck of a speaker.  I've only heard one or two of the Classic Audio speakers at shows and enjoyed what I heard.   If I had the space I would definitely have tried out horn speakers by now, but they just don't fit at all in my scenario.
(Btw, something fascinating to me is how, as counterintuitive as it may be, there is something of the character of various speakers that actually seems to come through on the many youtube demo videos.  Sometimes it seems like the character of a lowther horn speaker really comes through, a sense of liveliness, dynamics, or just the more "full" and chunky sound seems to be present vs recordings of other speakers  (sometimes you can even hear the horn honk coloration on voices...I know some horns don't have this...).
