HI Shane,
Unfortunately I won;t be able to get them to Dallas. But I do have some follow up comments on these.
I have now broekn them in (over 40 ours music has been played on them....mostly at night when I was asleep).

In many ways these drivers in the PAWO horn do things at a level I have not heard before in any system. Transparency, coherence, imaging, depth, instrument placemnt, focus are all amongst the best I have heard in ANY speaker system. Tone is acceptably good. Dynamic range is on the low side (compared to the usual horns I am used ot listening to) so they are best in a small room, heard at about 8 feet.

And for the first time the lack of frequency extension in a signle driver system is not bothersome to me...while most single driver systems I have heard are suitable for acoustic & jazz, and after a while the lack of low end or high end starts bothering me, these are suitable for acoustic, jazz, as well as pop & classical....only deep rap tends to not sound great (the bottom octave is kinda low on these).
Highs are great. I am listening to them about 10-15 degrees off axis.

Overall, highly highly recommended, IN THE PAWO HORN of course. I can't speak for them in any other enclosure.
