Why not horns?
Macrojack, I think you make a good point. I think electrical amplification is preferable. As I posted earlier, I suspect that the current trend in horn speakers, is due to the current trend in low powered amplifiers, not to any inherent superiorit... 
Thiel CS3 Without The EQ
With the EQ they are capable of outstanding bass, without not so much. Considering their age the 3's show up fairly often, especially on e-bay for very reasonable prices. Without the EQ I'd pass. 
How far do you sit from your speakers
9' from me, 10' from each other. 
Why not horns?
I like tubas too, but I don't want to hear very other instrument coming through them.

Cpdunn99, Ireland refrers to their premium whiskeys as "pure pot stilled". The unique Irish "Connenmara" is probably the closest to single malt Scot whiskey. 
Balanced vs Unbalanced?
No tubes, no noise when I put my ear up to my speakers. I see reason to complicate things by adding a bunch of extra stuff in order to improve things. Ditto. 
Balanced vs Unbalanced?
All things being equal, truly balanced is better than single ended, but at a cost in both money and effort. Due to budget considerations, I currently only use single ended. 
Oppo BDP-83SE NuForce??
