Spatial vs Pure Audio Project
Thanks for your feedback on the two brands.  I certainly need to hear the PAP horn loaded speakers.  From what I have read even the lower priced models from both brands represent a great value.Keep them coming. 
Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option
The trio voxativ is on my short list.  I might have a chance to hear it later this week.  I haven't read any negative comments on any PAP models.
