Stavros, my only experience w Basshorns is Cessaro Liszts in London in a room of similar dims to Michel's, and Gammas at Munich in a much bigger space
The Liszts demo ticked all my boxes, except one, despite being pwrd by Bakoon Class A 15W/ch
However the illusion of loveliness was ruined by brutal bass nodes I believe at 27Hz and 70Hz
The dealer has ameliorated these to a great degree w Illusonic DSP and Modex room treatments, but whether it's these or the Mola Mola Class Ds he's using, the tamed nodes are accompanied by a totally neutered, inert and uninvolving sound
The Gammas at Munich again nearly ticked all my boxes, but the lack of any real in room bass from a $350-400k system was startling by its omission
So, I'm wary of reports of horns described as full range that may not display full range of bass ability re extension, articulation, fullness, whether it's the room or the spkr
Otoh, I'm absolutely loving ten yr old AG Duo Omegas off home made 45 tube amps in a 5.7 X 3.7 X 3m space w minimal room treatments, absolutely no shortfall in bass whatever the program
Now, I'm sure the Liszts in my space would sound stellar, doing what they do so well w less room compromises
Unfortunately, other than budget constraints, my descending eaves roofline would force these 2.2m high behemoths to be spaced a max of 1.5m apart, so no go
No doubt Symphonias and even Trios would be a better ergonomic match
