Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

Legacy Whispers have got to be mentioned among the best. Yes, Wilsons, B&Ws, Martin-Logans, Dunlavys, Dynaudios, Genesis, and others, all can have great sound. But for the money, I'll put my Whispers up to the task. Real clean, room friendly, mid-range to die for, tremendous soundstaging, they truly disappear. For some, the lowest end could use a sub-woofer blend, because of the dipole open-air design, but that is the price to pay to get the rest of the package. They are also works of speaker art, especially in the premium woods.

reference speakers! I have some JM Lab Tantal, B&W's, and Boston Accoustics a-200's, and even homemade speakers, but if I REALLY want to hear how somthing sounds I turn to the polk's..There are notes, especially low 15-20hz area notes that they play effortlessly. Case in point, "Welcome to the Macine" by pink floyd, you feel the note it's so low, not really hear it. Some notes in Tracy Chapman's music that don't EVEN exist on my other equipment but can be heard clearly on these BIG bad boys. All this is not to diminish the highs and mid-range which seem as flat as they come. The 4 tweeters per channel help in the high end department. The imaging is unprecidented as well oweing to the column of 6 inch speakers playing the sonic opposite of the channel opposite...did that come out right, well you know what I'm talking about the cable that exists between speakers feeds the signal. I agree, can you tell?

Easy....but I doubt I'll get many nods in agreement.
Active ATC 150's internally triamped speakers!

I heard in the Sony SACD Booth 5 of the 150's for their
demo room at CES a couple weeks ago. I've never heard better... It was just stunning!

I got curious about them after reading the Stereophile Guide to Home Theater review picking ATC as the system of the year for 2001. After finding them at CES last year and this year, I was so amazed by the brits w/ no USA residential presence. They've only done Pro Audio for years. Now I found that the first USA dealer to DEMO the products is here in Denver and I just parted w/ my money for 3 of the Active ATC 100's for the front of my home theater/audio system.

Has anyone else experienced ATC yet and had the same
response as me?

Klipsch Lascalas perfected w/ AL K networks! These babies rock! With the coming of sub 40hz material, Lascalas don't get the brass ring, although lascalas remane in im my employ, for their ability to repoduce the LIVE sound is very satisfing indeed.

An easy one for me. I am 64 years old and I have been buying high-end for 30 years, and in heavy rotation with speakers for the last 5 to 7 years. The absolute best ? The Verity Audio Parsifal. Small footprint, thundering lows, sweet electrostatic-like lightning-fast highs, and a true work of art all-around. More importantly, a Steinway sounds like a Steinway. Not cheap, but my all-time best nevertheless ! One a more realistic scale
