That's right.
Some people still prefer analog modular gear, but personally I think VSTs have come a long way regarding authenticity and overall sound quality.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
For example, it is very difficult to distinguish this VST from the real physical device.

You've paid 400 all included? That's a very good price.
You'd probably pay at least twice that amount for similar horns from Auto-Tech.
Perhaps the finish of the Auto-Tech horns is slightly better, but likely not worth the difference.
This is the seller's local e-bay account (use google translate).

A short clip of Villalobos' multi-way horn system.
The 2-way, with modified 15" RCF Coax, is in between. XO @ 650 Hz and 30Hz-20kHz, according to specs

Agreed camplo, it's a very interesting concept.
Therfore I guess it deserves an extra post.
The list price is around €6500, depending on the configuration.
On stereoNET a pair of active Bullfrogs sold twice within a very short period for only $3K (AUD) instead of RRP $15k.
It's a 2-way, but you'll need subs. I'll post some additional info later.

I thought this looked like a deal
Tractrix Horns w/ B&C DCX50 | eBay
Tractrix Horns w/ B&C DCX50
Though I suppose the voice coil is small for the task.

I heard a pair of dsp-controlled Martion Bullfrogs some time ago. Impressive!
Bullfrog active | Martion
Bullfrog active | Martion
The voice-coil size of the DCX50 is misleading.
The mid diaphragm is actually cone shaped and 5" diameter, whereas the HF diphragm is annular.
It's supposed to be a very nice driver, now superseded by the DCX464.
Both on paper as well as according to some sources the DCX464 beats all BMS coax drivers.

Martion Bullfrog
First, it's appropriate to dedicate a few words to the man behind the brand.
Heiner Basil Martion has been in the loudspeaker business for almost half a century. His company was and still is a small privately owned and operated business. R&D and production is located in a seperate part of a domestic building in East-Berlin.
This is probably the type of business that comes closest to DIY.
It's obvious this man hardly does any marketing. I came across several German Audio journalists stating they didn't even know the brand until recently. These kind of dedicated small businesses generally get my sympathy.
Even more so, because Martion products are not insanely expensive compared to other German exotic horn systems (Aries Cerat, Cessaro, Odeon, Stein Music etc.).
This man didn't enter the audio industry in order to get rich, this man has been passionate about music and loudspeaker technology ever since his youth.
I also appreciate his initiative to organize his own small show on a short distance from Munich Hi-End, were people can listen to his systems (free of charge) in a relaxed ambience.
The second part of this report is telling.
