For a non-DIY solution, I went to Tannoy, in my case the Canterbury SE with the 15" dual concentric driver.Claimed 96 dB sensitivity. Out of curiosity, after getting them dialed in, I measured the Canterbury's output vs. a Zu claimed to be 98 and it was 3 dB louder than the Zu for the same input! I've thought that Zu is optimistic on their ratings anyway, but this surprised me.
What I like most is the the Tannoys' utterly natural rendition of vocals & instruments, with incredible tone and presence. Extremely involving to listen to music - one of the most musically involving speakers commercially available today - with the exception on the much larger and more expensive Tannoy Westminster - of course, IMO, IME...
Benefits from a few tweaks, but good right out of the gate.
Downside is expense if purchased new. And maybe size - but probably not if we are already talking about horns!
Best regards,
Jim Smith
