@Siva, There is a reason why very few companies offer consumer loudspeakers with horn loaded drivers today. Dome tweeters offer wider dispersion and flatter frequency response. The single advantage horn load tweeters have is effeciency, an advantage not necessary for consumer loudspeakers. You are free to enjoy them, and I won't knock you for that, but the audio industry moved away from horns 30 years ago and hasn't looked back.
BTW, Avantegarde is considered part of the Audio lunatic fringe just like all of the 3 watt single ended triode amp makers.
