Most agreed upon best speaker?


Which speaker is considered one of the greats by more music lovers? Price point irrelevant since some speakers outperform their peers of the same price category.
I'll start with Alexandria's and mbl's.

When I had cats, they seemed to levitate towards the Optimus speakers I had at the time.

Oops, sorry, I misread the thread title. I thought it said most "Pee'ed" upon speaker.
Pedrillo, c'mon you know its MBL, right?

Actually how about Avantgarde Trio's?

They're big, shiny, dynamic and sensitive, if not omnidirectional. And they only keep company with the highest quality amps. What else is there?
I can't take exception with MBL as a principal contender--they're magnificent!!
Even in show environments, from Denver to Munich, to Vegas, they always sound remarkable to me.
Open, spatial, tonally right, dynamic. The only issue some have with them is the fact that they have to be cranked, to sound right. I would say that they, like most speakers have to reach the acoustic output of the instrument's dynamic range. Not necessarily soft to loud, because I'm not sure that any speaker can do that accurately, and sustain tonality, but to the higher side of the output that an instrument can achieve.
