Speakers similar to Avantgarde horn

You might want to consider the Classic Audio Reproductions T-5. Extremely lively, uses superb drivers, and not too big.

The Avantgarde Solos are the newest horns. Perhaps not quite as good as the bigger horns, but smaller, more wife friendly, and cheaper with built in power amps. have listen. You won't be disappointed

In order of size (and likely corresponding average price you will find them at, although there are always bargains to be found); Klipsch Khorn, Belle Klipsch, Klipsch LaScala, Klipsch Cornwall, Klipsch Heresy All have the stunning clarity and speed of horn drivers, are more 'conventional' looking, utilitarian if you will. MUCH cheaper on the used market. Fantastic with tubes - Don't bother IMO with solid state - go another direction. Will sound even better with some modifications (search archives here, on Audioasylum, and on the Klipsch forum).

Forget Avantgarde solos - those things are WAY fuglier than the uno/duo/trio. Sound worse to boot (IMHO) than the uno/duo, not that the unos/duos/etc are the cat's meow either, even.
