The best sound I have heard was found at Jacob Heilbrunn's house.

You also changed your horn centerpiece in your PAPs to the coaxial one.
Can you say a few words about that? Maybe in a suitable PAP thread?

Apparently Lee who started the thread doesnt think so
I guess all different speaker types have there strengths and weaknesses.Lol
Haha! I have heard some terrific horn systems but I am more of a traditional tweeter/woofer guy.Apparently Lee who started the thread doesnt think so
I agree...never heard a horn I liked, even a little. Does not mean they don't exist, just means I have not sat in front of any that make me smile. Eventually a trip to Davids might change that perspective, I have heard no complaints from that room.Guys i admire your persistance to get the message across but horns just wont cut it for the" best sound "

To be fair I have only heard them in show environments, big rooms and small.
Yes sort of agree cannot think of any "horn" system that lived up to its hype except--
The very imposing Yamamura beige wooden versions that were being demoed at The UK Penta Show 20 or more odd years ago.
I have not heard the much lauded WE Munich demos but the scaled down version
demoed by Joe Roberts at a CES( I think but may have been RMAF)memory escaping moi!
unfortunately didn't get much of a chance to listen to the demo if I recall Joe wouldn't shut up
Owned Klipschorn's in the 80's but possibly did not appreciate their attributes fully--but they did deliver great dynamics alright!
Horns do have a welcome place still--after all look at their heritage history--they made the groundwork !
So just Horses for Courses

Yes but if one horse states the other horse is basically deaf or doesnt know what he is talking about , be ready for some pushbackSo just Horses for Courses
.Coming back to japanese horns and sound .
As a motorcyclist a horn i can certainly admire soundwise is the Yamaha R1 sc project exhaust, unfortunately this open exhaust is banned on the street

Agreed. It's good to push back when things smell a bit like a cult.
Exactly, Most manufacturers do not offer upgrades. Kondo Japan, does not, for example. At least not to my knowledge, and they are cranking out the products (more for the sake of releasing new products, in my opinion).
I have a Kondo Japan tube system: M77 and Souga (2A3), and a DarTZeel system (108 + 18NS) coming. I will post my findings on how they compare if you’re interested. From what I gather from other reviews, the DarTZeel will have all of the benefits with none of the drawbacks of tubes… but we’ll see - Kondo Japan products are unmatched in many respects - especially when paired with the right speakers (I.e., high efficiency horns, unless you have Kaguras).
Its difficult to beat a 2a3 except by the likes of 45, 46, etc, provided your speakers can be driven by such flea watts
Which 2a3 tubes are you using
