Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????

Acapella Violins - the only speakers I've heard where I believed I could touch the musicians. That said, the guy had also spent a fortune on some very special (possibly weird) room treatments - lumps of ebony on bird perchs - we did mess with them, and they did make a difference!

Just my 2p :0)

Unity audio. They have been gone for some time now but I'm told they're coming back as the owner is through with his government work and will get back to making great speakers again. I had the pleasure of listening to an entry level pair driven by LA Audio tube amps, at Acoustic Image, and was floored by what I heard. Exceptional imaging; 3-D pinpoint images of muscians spread out across the room in front of me with deep layering. I swear I could have gotten up and walked around the musicians. The song was Shirley Horn's 'Don't Let The Sun Catch You Cryin' ' and to this day, I've never heard a soundstage recreated in that manner. I'm still kicking myself in the butt for not geting those speakers as I would never have parted with them.

Martin Logan Monolith iii, the big boys. Blow away almost anything out there. Imaging to Die for!!!

I currently use both Parsifal Encores and Merlin VSM SEs in 2 different systems. Both are excellent at imaging. Neither can match the little ProAc Super Tablettes I heard 20 years ago, which offered the most tangible presentation of depth I can recall. Of course, the Pro Acs were almost unlistenable in their forward balance and very tough to mate with a sub. However, on imaging alone, they were the best I've heard.

I would also note that, under the right circumstances, any number of planar loudspeakers (I've heard great soundstaging/imaging from Soundlab, Maggies, Acoustat, and Apogee) can startle in this regard. The room and listening position were always critical, though.

The one, the only...

CARAVELLE.

(Just kidding.)

Despite the bashing in another thread, the Wilson Watt Puppies image pretty well.
