Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

Snell AIIIi speakers are all around contenders. And the Apogee Divas with the right setup.

Paradigm Active 40s, when given proper ICs and power cords, stands and a excellent pre and source. When all of these are done you will have one of the finest FULL RANGE speakers money can buy.

well guy's there are alot of good spks. most of the stuff i see listed here are expensive. i have owned 350 or so sets of spkrs. mostly because i do repairs and rebuild. just about any sound good it is just a visual thing more than the drivers playing. they each have thier own good points.

There are so many variables in selecting speakers, it is impossible to agree on this list. Generally, I selected ones that I think do the best job of achieving their desired goal (ie. best for a certain price or best possible sound).

From my experience in the business and as a listener I would pick:

Avantgarde Duo
Quad (original)
Wilson Watt/Puppy
B&W 801
Beverage
Goldmond (small)
Magnaplanar MG-1
Advent (Large)
B&W CDM-1
LS3/5a

Magnaplanar Tympani D I get chills just thinking about them.
