Best U.S.A. speakers?

I own Vandersteen 5A's. If you read their literature, the design is such that the driving amp is absolutely loafing because it only operates the mids and highs. The lows are handled by the built in 1000 watt dedicated amps. There is also the ability to equalize the speakers for accomodation to the room itself. The bottom line is that it sounds like music.

Unless I have missed it, no mention of Silverline, a good range of reasonably priced standmounts and floorstanders

Agree with Agear on Intuitive Design.

I'll own up to it.

Bought a pair of Bose 901 (first series) when I was in the Navy; Norfolk, Virgina in 1971.

And you're right, they were $476/pr.

Drove (well tried to drive) them with a Harmann Kardon Citation 12 (60WPC). Preamp was the matching Citation 11.
