Do you mean speaker with xovers?
If só I would suggest Klipsch RF7 new or used with a small tube amp, EL34 SET 6watts. Avoid use Solid-State amps with horn speakers.

If you want use this occasion to get rid of the boxed 2D soundstage speaker you may like this simple DIY project from a AC member: All parts are only four(4), Eminence Alpha15A + 4.7mH + Visaton B200 and a MDF baffle.

Other option are the Lii Audio F15 FR driver $399 pair, not each.

If one have a woodworker is possible try the Lii Audio F15($399/Pair, pair not each) 97dB/8Ω and benign impedance curve suited to OB or yet Bass Reflex box or yet the F18($540/pair), no Crossover, no Tweeter beaming, no Phase rotation, no driver sensitivity loss, no Harmonics loss, no Retail price.

If you want a bigger woofer there are 18'' and 21'' from Lii Audio:

I actually like Xoverless speakers, and also open baffle, but i want them to portray a refined sound with a big soundstage & pin point imaging. I am also looking at some planar speakers like Diptyque DP 140 or Audio Analysis or Apogees.
Also would like coaxial ones ( point source )
Oh yes- my room is not big , about 4.4 on 4.2 meters, so i am listening near to mid field.

Thanks, yes i've found this site a few years ago, and i made a pair of speakers with Onken enclosures and big horns on top, but sold them since i have a limited space for such big speakers.
Now i am looking at some more modest size ones, for example Totem Element line has no Xovers, it would be noce to hear how they perform  :roll:

For your room size came to mind the new Frugal Horn for 8'' FR driver, it not named FrugalHorn but I cant remember the correct name.  :duh:
