The best "imaging" speakers?

Martykl,

Narrow baffle floorstanders with extreme cabinetry can also mimic this effect.

Perfect description of the Totem Arros, I think.

Almost any single-driver crossoverless speaker will image in spades.

ProAc! Any model.

Triangles are the best imaging speaks I've heard in a conventional box design. I've heard them totally disappear in systems where no other speakers did.

Magicos were impressive also in this regard when I heard them but they are PRICEY.

Omnis like OHMs or MBL can be very good also, but their imaging is totally different from conventional box designs IMHO. Some will take to it and be hooked and never go back....some just won't get it.

Dunlavy speakers WERE the hands-down favorite, but unfortuately they are no longer being made. Dunlavy speakers are true point source, phase correct, sealed enclosure speakers, huge in size. Correctly placed, amplified, spiked and in a large enough room; the SC-4 through 6's still compete for top honors no matter what the cost. As used speakers (if properly set up), I believe they represent one of the greatest (used) bargains of all time. To set a benchmark is to listen to these speakers at least once along the way.
