Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????


My jaw has only dropped with one system. I was at the Home Entertainment Show in NYC last summer when I was floored. It was the Legend Audio 'The Legend' speakers powered by Legend Audio Nirvana 100 watt Tubed Monoblocks.

OH MY GOD! Till this day, I get chills just thinking about the experience. It was like there was an entire stage filled with people and instruments right in front of me. The best part was when I took my eyes off of this stage to look at the speakers,,,,,,,,,,,,YOU WOULD SWEAR THAT THEY WEREN'T EVEN ON. I have heard other speakers that have exceptional qualities in other areas but I haven't imaging like that since that day.

Any other great imaging speakers out there?

I know this thread is about imaging but since this is only one part of what a speaker needs to accomplish isnt it like asking what bakery makes the best cherry topping on their pies and forgetting the rest? Anyway the Decapo i by reference3a is very good which is why I use them with confidence in my recording studio but even if that were their best feature I would'nt own them.

The Hill Plasmatronic - I've been around this business for 25 years & seen most of them. The Hill is not around anymore, except used. It uses a plasma gas chamber, modulated by the audio signal as the radiating source - almost zero moving mass - driven by its own tube amp. The staging and focalization is without peer. Musicality is like triodes extended into speakers. It's meant to be used with a subwoofer, but coned units, except for Shahinians, are just not fast enough. Any Dayton Wrights still around - their perfect. But what to get for the crossover - only two choices - the older Shahinian and Audio Research units. They are the only units to have the transparency adequate to the Hill's.
Dayton Wright's revisited. Hey Rasdc.I am currently restoring a pair of xg-8's. Perfect???? nothing is perfect but the Wright's were miles ahead of anything in their day. Unfortunately at that time,very few amplifiers were capable of driving them so few of us ever "really" got to hear them set up properly.
