Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????

After further listening in real world rooms I have to lean towards the Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7s followed by the Sophias and the Kharmas. Sound this good in a typical room only gets better when the room is tricked-out. The Kharmas and Wilsons are so close that any difference becomes personal. The one element that really impressed me was how much of a difference an interconnect makes. The sound stage that the Valhalla throws when everything is equal and with a push of a button you can go from one IC to another, is not only audible but its dramatic. I trust what I witnessed and what I heard because the demo was on my system and I was given a week to play. Peace and Good Listening , Pat.

Meech33 - Do you remember what recording you were listening to when you had this experience? I was listening to a shop's reference system once and found it very flat and I was in shock at the cost for the sound they were getting. Then they spun the Classic 45 version of Louis Armstrong's St. James Infirmary. WHOA! Talk about imaging and analogue over digital...it was religious. I always liked Armstrong but I never realized how much he truly deserved to be the american legend he is until that day. It wasn't the speakers nearly as much as the recording. That sound has been the dragon ive been chasing ever since.

Souljasmooth, great post! So someone else is familiar with the Peak Incognitos! I got a pair after hearing them at the 2003 CES. One of the top 4 sounding rooms at both shows, I.M.H.O. I'm running mine with Atma-sphere gear...their impedance is a great match for OTL amps (7 ohm, never dropping below 6.8 ohm!) Sound staging, both location and depth is amazing. But the clarity and separation is where these speakers really shine. The way that the Incognitos present female vocals and especially the way that they can separate and clarify vocal harmonies still defies my belief. The Peaks transcend that magical audio threshold presentation from "they are here" into "you are there"!

I think a lot of people feel as you do. The Legend system is an eye opener. But has anyone mixed and matched components? Unfortunatly I can't just buy the whole system. Should I try the speakers? the amp? or the cables?
