Im looking for a new raw brass horn that'll really give me that dark fluffy smokey tone I'm looking for around $5k any suggestions?

Thane Performance with the large bell taper.
Lotus Solo or Universal Max.
Edwards X-13.

Here’s a picture of my raw Thane Performance, large red brass bell.

I would check out the Van Laar Oiram light II. It has a 72 bell, warm as fire 😊 And it’s not light as in light.

In discussions like these, the Martin Bohme Tumultus seems to crop up in the same breath as the Thane Performance. Here's a link with a sample video:

https://klangwerkstatt-boehme.de/en/instrumente-2/tumultus-2/

(NOTE: This is the regular Tumultus, not the Tumultus-LL, which is designed for lead playing.)

Other than that, check out YouTube for sample videos by Trent Austin of Austin Custom Brass. He demos a lot of the horns he sells; you may get some ideas on other available options.
