Horn Speaker Recommendations

I agree, the Trios are in a different league above the other AGs. But I disagree about them working in a small room. My experience with them ( my buddy owned them, he was the Jadis importer at the time ), tells a different story. Listening too close to them, they lost coherence, and did not stage well. Moving them to a larger room, creating greater distance between them and us, the listeners, they disappeared. We also had set up a pair of the AG powered subs, and it was awesome. 

I would highly recommend auditioning the Diesis Ludos, available at Rhapsody audio. Beautiful top to bottom natural dynamic sound for 29k. Gutenberg auditioned the 100k version and fell in love but Bob at Rhapsody told me this was just as good from his listening, I certainly loved it but out of my price range. There is also a slightly larger Aura for 35k. See details on Ludos below. Best of luck in your search

The transducers used for the low frequencies are two high-efficiency ten-inch woofers, assuring comparable performance to larger models as it reduces a few db of sensitivity because the slimmer design. Upper registers are entrusted to a 45mm compression driver, which is the same as in the Aura one-inch throat. The circular design of the horn, which allows for far more efficient sound diffusion in tight spaces, was designed specifically for this model out of a solid block of milled ARNITE which was then lacquered. The Ludos can be considered a two-and-a-half-way speaker with two identical woofers but tuned to different frequencies. As in other Diesis models, in the Ludos the crossover filter, the assembly of the components and the finishing are all made by hand with no compromises. The efficiency along with its optimization for cozier spaces causes a nearly-live experience even with low-output tube amplifiers.

My room is 23' X 20' which I assume is smaller than most dedicated sound rooms.  That is what I am referring to as a small room.  In that space they work fine. Most venues where Trios are being displayed are much larger than that.  I should have specified that.  

Agree with much of what you say about the Sound Labs, however dont forget to mention that these speakers are dipoles which creates problems by virtue of this aspect. Not a small problem I might add.

Has anyone from around the world heard the Horn Universum 3 way that are made in Poland?  There are none in North America.  
Second question, audio stores are telling me you need to use tube amps with Horns.  Do you agree?  I recently purchased Mola Mola Kaluga amps with the Makua Pre amp.  I was going to use them with a totally different speaker, but the Horns have really caught my interest.  What would I be sacrificing if I didn't use tube amps?  My current system is a Raven Audio Reflection MK2 tube amp with Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage speakers.  I sold that system with my house sale.
