The best speaker you ever heard?

Hotmailjbc,

I believe you are thinking of the huge Infinity IRS V's consisting of two tower columns with floor to ceiling emit ribbon tweeters and two columns of floor to ceiling servo controlled 12" (I think) bass drivers. Sold new for ~ $50K. Heard them at MillerSound a few years back and they were awesome.

One saturday I went to audio connection looking for a cd player john showed me the primare cd-31 which is an excellent machine for any price. He played this player on his front system which he had the vandersteen 7 for the speaker system. Out of all the speaker systems I,ve heard these were a new level of high performance. The sound left me speechless. You should audition this speaker at least once in your lifetime.

Mike_barnett, it is the high point of Richard's speaker development certainly.

The best speakers I have ever heard are the ones I have owned since 2005--PSB Platinum M2 monitors. They are so good that I am trying hard to replace them with much more expensive speakers but can't let them go. Very frustrating, but with every system upgrade, they get better and better. Very fast, transparent, sweet when necessary but with a real raucous nature when called upon.
