We have a lot of new members just starting their High End adventure. Info was much appreciated. I will start the thread for the Acoustat 2+2 and Model 2 of which I still own and continue to enjoy. So lets have your top ten members. --- MANY THANKS ---

We had a pair of the Gale's with the chrome ends (I used to call them the big cigarette lighters - they were wonderful - took a lot of power if I remember corectly and VERY transparent - probably need a great subwoofer as they weren't large. Currently have Snell type A's (needing new surrounds at the moment (or woofers - any suggestions). We used to sell the Snell's when Peter was making them - we also sold Acoustats - we have a pair of Spectra 11's which I like but wouldn't offer up as one of the 10 best - really a wonderful speaker with enough power driving them. The IRS's were quite something.
Avalon line -I own a pair of Eclipses after having Avatars and many others from Eaglestone, Magnepan, Monitor Audio, Swans, many B&Ws, etc...

Also heard under familiar setups the Ascents, Eidoleons and Monitors.

Some say they don't go deep, others that lack some dynamics, but at the end, Avalon speakers make music.
