$20K to spend on speakers…. . wait! There’s a catch!
 Then follow your audiophile instinct and make a choice.I think, you are leading yourself into a permanent trap. You cannot have those speakers, they are there and you are here - no connection.

Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Anyway, who would want these ’big vaginas’ that are almost , if ever, impossible to make sound coherent, more or less uncolored and not spitting out sounds in your face ? Sax and trumpet played live in front of you sound really terrible. Even Mile...

You see. Not too much. How many people in the world can afford this ? Millions. How many of them might actually want them ? Probably thousands.

They are probably just something like half a million plus electronics.

I guess so. 
Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system?
Speakers overpowering the room is an excellent reason not to have them, agreed.I am a Studer school too, folkfreak, but probably not as much as you are. $50k speakers in $500k system - no, but $5k speakers in $50k system - no way. $50k still buy a...
