My wife was a bit put off by my oris 150 converging horn array with 8 oris 150 horns and dual upsized imperal bass horns with 4 -18in woofers. This system end to end touching no space between was 19ft wide. My wife hated the size but after a week ... 
Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
At least you didnt look at the fostex w400a hr price. Iam working out a design using these with a ribbon;) in a 2 way...... 
Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
I spent over a decade with dipoles most models including maggies. For me HI-EFF been the better sound. Now with HI-EFF ribbons about this frees up design. I have a few med to hi-eff hybrid ribbon loudspeakers about. Gives the best of both worlds. ... 
Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
In my opinion dynamic range is more loudspeaker related than amplifier. For if you rely on massive power to get dynamics you are forcing your loudspeakers to perform, requiring massive cone excursions and much heat to crossover parts and voice coi...

Supremes are alright the silver golds are much much better but costly. I mostly use silver oil or silver gold

$500 for caps? Fostex t90a $300 pair, t900a under $800. With a just a solen would do better than the klipsch tweeter no mater what cap you use. With a mundorf silver gold even better....

I agree loudspeakers are the most important part of the system. As far as 50% cash for crossover 50% rest is just crazy. If I followed this 50% rule my loudspeakers would be the worse off for it. A crossover can not make a poor transducer into a g...

Still I feel using such costly parts on the poor old klipsch tweeters is a bit of a waist of funds. Replace it, use a good cap and be done. Trust me the tweeters are a very weak link and with what your spending on crossovers parts you could afford...

SET amp for high efficiency horn speaker
yamamoto 45,wavac md300b, jeff kornef 45 SET,art px25,cyrus brenneman cavalier,FI 2a3 mono blocks. Depending on your loudspeakers design these should work well I used them on my hi-eff horn riggs. Still some horns can be a bit harder to drive any ... 
15 watts & 94 db eff. speakers: how loud?
3DB twice as loud. 1 watt 97db if 8 ohms. 2 watts 100db, 4 watts 103db. A fe166e in a BLH is a much diferant beast can play louder more dynamic than a fe167e in BR. The BR versions of fostex horn drivers are poor performing unless used in nearfiel... 
What capacitor values?
