Drive direct to Blumenhofer in 86877 Walkertshofen, germany i think only 3-4 hours from zürich ,swiss.
Maybe,i don't know new ares cerat amps
Thomas Blumenhofer's showroom is quite impressive, to say the least:
Blumenhofer also builds a 300k monster version of the 2x220:
The 2x220 exhibits virtually no horn signature, which is probably less the case for its big brother.
For the production version, Thomas added a T900A:

I've also listened to at least 3 systems with Voxativ drivers, including the PureAudioProject Trio15 Voxativ.
One can think this up, then make it...
I leave the reproduction characteristics to your imagination:
This was probably better overall, though the setup in the small room was far from optimal:

No, it doesn't beam (noticeably), but there's some minor pattern-flip and the 'transition' between the waveformer and the radial horn.Strictly sweet spot-ish?
I could live with these subtle side-effects and it takes a trained ear + knowledge to even perceive them. I haven't read any comments of this nature online.

These are some of the most impressive-looking horns I have seen. Our Trafomatic Audio distribution partner in The Netherlands is a huge fan of Blumenhoffer speakers. I can't wait to hear them with the Trafomatic Glenn 300B mono amplifiers at the Dutch Audio in October!
You mean Marco? I spoke to him, a nice guy and analog/vinyl junkie.
Blumenhofer made some impressive-looking systems in the past:

I heard this Classic 1743 model and thought it was "fun" to listen to (on a short period of time), but I remained globally unimpressed: expressiveness for sure, though no real "life-likeness" (not enough "naturalness" for me; but were the Mola-Mola monoblocks ideally partnered amplifiers?). I'm sure they make better models than this one.
Blumenhofer Classic 1743, €39.000
(the off-the-frame guy on the side is not me; the horrible paintings in the middle is not from me; that ill-framed picture is not from me either...)

Not only nice looking but also nice sounding
I'm pretty sure it was in Munich at one of the past High Ends
I just checked, it was Munich 2014
Oh, I missed 2014 and I missed Blumenhofer the last years in Munich.
They were really great.
@ Munich High-End 2014 perhaps?
It was a limited edition model 'Concert X' including a horn loaded open baffle midrange section with air flow duct and bass face plug.
Somewhat similar to the Western Electric Mirrophonic and G.I.P. 9700A.
A few more pics.:
A few years ago, the show system was offered for sale for about 35k €.
Potential drawback: subs are required.

The Classic-series were Blumenhofer's take on the big JBL studio monitors of the '70s and '80s.[please forgive my poor English]

33k is a considerable amount of money, but 6k for (pre-production & used) 1733s seems reasonable.
Instead of the JBL 2235H, this 1733 features the custom BHA woofer.
Fwiw, a video of yet another pair of preliminary 1733s.
In this case with roll surrounds and the horns of the Genuin FS3 Mk1/Tempesta 20:
