The best speaker you ever heard?

Lloyd, on a serious note, I try to take Audio reviews and surveys like this with a grain of salt. Generally, I don't get involved with threads like this.

The speakers that made the top 25 are all fine speakers. But when I see that other top performers like Vandys did not make the list (actually #26), . . . well one can only wonder???? OTOH, I was somewhat tickled to see that my Paradigm S8s made #7, especially since they cost a fraction of what most of the other top performers cost.

FWIW, take it with a smile. :-))

Hi Bifwynne,

Agree...and there are loads of speakers out there we could all name that are "better" than the "25" that made the list. I actually only commenting on how well Wilson did. I do like the 3 speakers named, particularly the Alexandria. I have not heard anything i prefer, though i am curious about the Rockport Arrakis and the Genesis Statement which i have heard are stunning.

Lloyd, on whim and fancy, audition the Paradign S8s v2 or v3 (w/ Be tweeters). Make sure they are presented fairly and that they are driven with good electronics. I think you might be surprised at how much they do right and how little they don't. Probably the major weakness is crisp deep bass. That's an easy fix with a Paradigm Signature servo sub, or a next generation Sub 25. I'm not tellin ya they're better than the Wilsons, or any other speaker per se. All I'm saying is they are worth a fair listen in a good room with good equipment. IMHO
