Best sub for music,
@jheppe815,Hi, I run the JBL B460's with a Crown studio reference 1 amp which runs on a dedicated 240 volt 30 amp circuit. IMHO: The Crown  studio reference 1 amp is the best sounding amp Crown makes. All the power you will ever need in a home hi... 
Best sub for music,
I agree with poster jheppe815 on the JBL subs. I use two JBL B460 18'' subwoofers crossed over @ 50 Hz from the mains. It's eargasmic! 
What's your dream speaker?
JBL Project EVEREST DD67000. Very live sounding and dynamic.                                                      https://www.jblsynthesis.com/products/loudspeakers/type/floorstanding-loudspeakers/DD67000RW.html 
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
I concur with johnk. My speakers have an efficiency of 2.7% and a low frequency response of -3 db @ 24 Hz. To get that high efficiency and low bass response and low distortion without a subwoofer requires large main speakers. No way around it. BTW... 
Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty”
I concur with johnk. 
Advice for upgrading my system
IMHO: I would suggest any one of the three speakers below for that live feeling. ttps://www.crutchfield.com/S-Jf7EJ9e1kUT/shopsearch/heritage_cornwall_iv.html?XVINQ=GW3&XVVer=5MY&a...https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/M2System--jbl-m2... 
Vintage SS Versus Modern
@greg7, Look for a Luxman L-10 integrated amp. It drove my JBL L-300’s perfectly back in 1978. It had Sanken output power transistors. It did sound nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owqMIpSVBNUhttps://www.hilberink.nl/codehans/luxman23.htm 
Vintage vs New
                                                               IMHO: Here's two pairs of speakers from 1981 that will indeed hold a candle to all Tekton speakers past and present models.          .                                                 ...

What traditional dynamic speakers deliver a sonic signature similar to a horn speaker?

Dedicated lines — how many? Other advice?
@hilde45,Run a 10/awg BX/MC cable solid core conductors from the breaker panel to a metal receptacle box. The metal sheathing on the BX/MC cable absorbs the (EF)) electric fields emitted by the wires and shunts it to ground. Now from panel to plug...

Distributed Bass Array configuration
