The best speaker you ever heard?

Well put Agear. I've been around this hobby since '69 and have found most dealers can't set up a speaker to save their lives and/or a room. Most of the rooms do suck as they have to cram so many speakers in there. That's why I make sure to call ahead whenever I can to get them to set up the system in a room with nothing else when they can. Most can't and I think they lose business from folks who know what they are listening to.

Perhaps the title should change to what music do you listen to and what's the best forgiving speakers to cover almost all your music genre, this is more worthwhile to be put into discussion.

If you're asking those questions, you're not ready for the answers..

I completed my quest for a new set of speakers, a week ago received my new Focal Sopra No2's.
During my search, one audio salesman asked me if I prefer speakers which were "analytic" or ones that were "musical". He characterized the Wilson & Magico's as "analytic". Though I feel they make some fantastic products, I just couldn't listen to any of their models for very long before fatigue set in. I found the tweeters in the Wilson's were so "unforgiving" that when coupled with electronics that had any shrillness, I just couldn't listen to them for very long.
I found the highs and midrange in the Focal's to be the most detailed, and the bass to be tight and well integrated with the rest of the drivers. I'll still use sub woofers with these new speakers. I find that the tweeters in these speakers benefit from smooth sounding amplification, would probably be too shrill with some amps on the market.
These speakers have tremendous soundstage and when the music has a "large" sound, they sound much "larger" than anything I've auditioned.
I'm only a week into the break in period, but they already sound better!
Putting a smile on my face!
