Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????

Revel Salon's or Studio's hands down, Dunlavy SCV's arent too shabby either. Nothing can compete with a speaker with high quality drivers which operate in a wide dispersion pattern from narrowband configuration of steep crossover points. Just picked up a pair of ML Prodigy's for our other room. They are great too, but a different kind of sound altogether, more relaxed sounding, kind of like background music or elevator music, thats probably the best way to describe them. Dipoles/omnipolar/electrostatics by nature dont image as well as a dynamic front firing driver array speakers. They give off the impression that they do, but with less detailed images from rear firing reflections and many times with smearing even the best of them. Ive always found that electrostatics sound best with the rear wave absorbed as much as possible.

The Acoustat X with direct drive power amps. It sounds like the harpisichord is in the room.

ANY pair whose drivers and crossovers happen to be clones, either by strict QA or luck of the draw.

You guys are all WRONG. The best I'd ever heard was a pair of Spica TC50 fed from a Class A tube amp with a turntable source. Speakers were on stands 12' apart in a dead quiet room.

another vote for the Spica's. all of them.

i agree you with you that the legend room sounded great. even with the little integrated. but i think you may need to buy that whole system. component synergy may have had a lot to do with the sound in that room. would like feedback on this.
