What horn to choose?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.high-end (More info?)

After listening to my Dynaudio set for about 15 years I think it is
time for something new. I have been checking the net and like the idea
of a horn and a low powered single ended tube amplifier. The choises I
came to were:
Lowther fidelio rear end horn or a Fostex Jericho front end horn. I
even have been thinking of putting a Lowther EX driver in the Jericho
cabinet. What would be the best option or has anybody experience with
a Lowther in a Jericho horn?

On the other hand, if enjoyin' music is the thing he's after (and everyone
should be), he won't change a thing for the rest of his life after he gets
the stuff he mentioned.
