Von Schweikert Ultra 11 is the best I've encountered which is superior in all sound categories. I had stats including the ML Quests, Monolith IIIs, Acoustat Xs and 2+2s for 20 years. I am so happy that I don't have them any longer (except for the 2+2s, I should have kept those). I prefer a large, dynamic sound with excellent bass and wide seating dispersion. Stats don't do that except for SoundLabs. I also prefer easier to drive speakers. Maggies are great for the price and most acoustic and smaller music but not their larger speakers which now cost as much as comparable dynamic speakers.
