Best speakers for Pink Floyd?

...lately I've been doing the latter with deadmau5, but I'm just Really Contrary, y'all....;)

Any working speaker, dependent upon what you've ingested.  But at that point, you're probably filling in blanks that may not exist. *G*

I vote headphones for personal use.  Then loudness won't freak you neighbors out, and verify to them that you're just a refugee from 'then', like me. ;)

If you've got to play PF in the listening area, run watcha' brung.  Volume to 11....

Some great comments here.   I think the best Floyd speakers are the crappy ones I used in college to scare the hell out of my guests when I played "Several small species" from the Ummagumma album after bar time on Saturday nights.  

If memory serves correctly, it's actually called The Far side of the moon...not on the Album though.
As for the albums my favorite has always been "Wish you were here", and again if memory serves you don't have much bass in there but would need speakers with a lot of clarity...panels perhaps?

I know that there's no dark side of the moon.  There's a back side of the moon, well lid up.

alpha_gt, you get it.  :) 

Headphones. End of thread.

Nobody buys speakers for one group they should sound good with everything.

I can't believe this is a thread...

I've heard the clock-chime sequence merge into the "scene from an acid drenched western" on big honkin' VMPS towers. Breathtaking... 

Dark Side of the Moon is a very creative album, with great sound effects mixed into the music, lots of channel play, i.e. Running from far left to far right. Personally, I was blown away by this album on a pair of Martin Logan Quests, driven by Jeff Roland electronics if memory serves. So I'm thinking any electrostatic panel should help with this artificial soundstage that pulls you into the scene. 

That said, I always get a thrill on my own system, or any iteration of my system over the past 30 years! presently VPI table, Parasound pre, Forte' amp and Legacy Focus 20/20's. The 30th anniversary vinyl reissue is pretty awesome! "Far out" even!  (I still think Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album)

Right, ATC SCM150's is what Gilmour has in his Astoria studio. I think they'd probably sound pretty good.

I'd want to hear PF on Ohm 5015 or mbl 101.  

Speakers that are broken.

Live. Like back in the day. 

Though I often don't, in this case I do agree with Inna...any good, full range (+ don't forget the amplification and wires, and source and format,  etc., etc., etc.).

CERWIN VEGA D-9. I dont ever thik I could listen to the whole side if Dark Side without my neighbor banging on my door.  

Paranoid is definitely a fight for #1 for me.  

Just the other day I had a friend over and we listened to "Time" on the big panels. Quite special. Spacial effects are a real treat on a panel speaker. 

Pink Floyd sounded great on Duntech Sovereigns and Princesses driven by big Krell amps..

As much as I like their music, especially Wish You Were Here, I can barely stand their singing.
On the subject. Pink Floyd does not require special speakers, any good ones full range will do. This is not big orchestra or opera with big orchestra. Not an acid jazz/rock/funk fusion either.

Depending on the age/vintage;
B&W, Infinity, Thiel & Vandersteen- we all have our faves.

Best speakers for Pink Floyd? All of them! At the same time!

Jensen 6x9' Coaxials in my '72 Torino gave me the best DSOM listening experience I have had.  You remember these, right?  They were the blue ones.

ATC the brand Pink Floyd listened to Pink Floyd with 

"IMO, the ultimate PF DSOM speaker is the stock "mono" speaker in a 1967 Volkswagon bug."

I disagree--VW Bus!  Don't bogart that. . .well, you know.

That said, my Vandersteen 5s are pretty fine sounding with that particular recording. 

IMO, the ultimate PF DSOM speaker is the stock "mono" speaker in a 1967 Volkswagon bug.

I am probably one of Floyds bigger fans and I play them on my Golden Ear Triton Ones.  You should hear the heartbeat from Dark Side, totally unbelievable.  I had Vandersteens, DeVore, Paradigm, Von Schweikert and Odyssey speakers but none of them came close to the Triton Ones.  Floyd  sounds almost as good in my secondary system with a tube Integrated and a pair of Golden Ear Triton Twos.  Same incredible bass, mids and highs, but just a little less output than the Triton Ones.
