Regarding Horns , i have heard some promising sound in Munchen .
For example the VIVA horn system , but to make that a coherent system for classical / vocals , i d assume it would need a lot of measuring and finetuning when placed in a particular room

No there not. One doesn't need the best recordings of the best performances to create a system. Who tells us what those are you?
I dont have one record so my system can't be good?
Where does one come up with this hokum?
we don’t have to agree. I can understand if you have only one audiophile record. If you have a digital only system that is fine that is your goal. But it won’t compete with the best records

we don't agree and your one man survey doesn't dismiss the opinions of others nor make your statement a fact.
In fact your statement has nothing at all to do with building a system. It is strictly your opinion nothing more nothing less.
sad to see someone selling such costly equipment lack music and pressings knowledge

another assumption that you are making with no facts. You know nothing about me or my knowledge. One doesn't need a few old records to be an expert Sir. BTW way this thread is about the best speakers not about analog versus digital or solid state versus tubes, the continuation of the same old dogma to cover up for the lack of facts. Its sad that you are stuck in the same old same old and can't see anything else.
Ah crap. Here we go again. Just what the forum needs- another pissing contest. ENOUGH!!!
Ked, I wouldn't be so quick to condemn Elliot on his music knowledge. Have you heard his playlists? They're mighty impressive in SQ and breadth. Who cares if he doesn't play records. He knows and loves music, period. So he sells equipment. BFD. Your bias for LPs is well known . No need to trivialize someone's love of music because they prefer a digital source. Elliot can also walk into a hotel he's never been in before and make music sound pretty damned good in the opinion of many professional "experts". That's not a trivial skill. Have some respect please.
Elliot, Ked probably attends more live music than anyone else on the forum. I don't give a rat's ass what he plays at home (even if its with himself), he damn well knows music too. Have some respect please. For goodness sake, both of you have so much knowledge to share about music that it's sad to see this constant bickering about gear get in the way. Can we move on, puhleeze?

I didn’t start it Marty. I expressed an opinion how the best system should be created. Elliott got personal.
He tried the same passive then aggressive dealer defence mechanism on me a little while back, In light of the recent membership blowback against dealers posting comments in defence of their business perspective on this forum its comments are somewhat remarkable!
Probably jinxing it, but the seller is countering our offer on 4.7 acres. If we get it, I will probably go with a hybrid room setup. A living type room. But one that is thoughtful in materials and design to help a system play well. I fully believe the room is required in taking it to the next level. Without it, you can hear the "voice" of a speaker or system, but I don't think you can fully appreciate its capabilities until it has the space to develop the sound.
I don't think you can say you really know what a speaker can do, as in, is it the best you have heard, until its in a tuned room.
FWIW, Rhapsody Bob in Portland has a beautiful room.
