What are the top 3 dream speakers you wanna buy next regardless of price?
Please allow me to blow away everyone's world with THREE (3) of the following that were used to voice the soundtrack of Ben Hur by 20th Century Fox: http://www.sonicflare.com/archives/destiny-6000-giant-horn-system.php You can replace the old drivers with modern drivers, but you will not impact the laws of physics more than marginally. The source material better be clean, e.g. 2 inch masters with minimal discrete components in the signal path |
Yes they are very audiophile. We were called HiFi enthusiasts at that time. If I learnt anything in the last 59 (I 'm 67) years of critical listening, audiophile speakers are anything that work well. In the 50s and 60s the community lusted after Voice Of The Theatres and to make a point Altec Lansing built a nice cabinet around them and branded them A7 Magnificents. They built a smaller version called the Valencias. I believe that Art Dudley of Stereophile owns a pair. Trivia . . . I had the great privilege of working with Saul Marantz's brother, Charlie, at a company called Swedlow in the late 70s. A fun time that was. Nice to know this cottage industry from the inside track and why Saul soldout to Sony Superscope? The Dahlquists were Saul's designed speakers sold under his engineer's name to circumvent trade agreements. The second best speakers that I like. Charlie's obit . . .
