Rich, I felt bad after I wrote the comments. But I was delicate. I could have just declared it "dog shit"!
We all have different tastes for sure. My system is very different because it is a
MLTL single driver set up with sub and can sound similar to good horns. Not to mention cheap. You were fiddling with horns for awhile and I'm sure you will agree they are a very different experience from the Ushers.
I will just push more of my music in next time. Oh, and my Benchmark. LOL!
I have to have my jaw drop when I hear something for the first time. Umm, especially at those $$.
Keep at it, all will come together.
And, hey this is a friggin hobby, right?
Enjoy the journey, I know I do.
I used to hang out (90's) a fair amount of time at Sound II in Dartmouth, MA ran by Leo Masie. Knew him well.
Anyway, he had some pretty lofty stuff in there at times. I used to go in and listen to one of his primo setups and declare it
"dog shit". He used to say, you asshole, that's $75,000!
I did it to Hales when they were demoing some of their offerings there. He took me serious by the look on his face.
