Most agreed upon best speaker?

Field coils drivers are very tasty indeed.

They have an "ease" that you simply do not find with - anything else, probably.

I had a Supravox field coil setup. The 8", augmented with the giant bass drivers on an OB. Could not really get them to gel in my room.

My favorite setup with them was actually the 8" alone on the JE Labs-type baffle. Heavenly sound, bass to 50 Hz.

The Cogent and Classic horns are pretty special also, of course. Big $$$, of course.

If you are a {MUSIC LOVER}, vintage speakers are the only way to go....{"they just sound more like live music"!} I think the Sansui sp-5500's are one of the best ever made!

Hifisoundguy, you can't get good sound with any modern speakers in your opinion?

>>If you are a {MUSIC LOVER}, vintage speakers are the only way to go<<

I'll bet a lot of "music lovers" will disagree.

You've made some really dumb posts but you may have hit the jackpot with this one.

I have been to ALL the shows and when I come back home I feel that my vintage speakers just sound more MUSICAL...more LIKE THE REAL THING! Sure, modern gear has gotten a lot better but they are a few vintage speakers that will remain the best of all time! These speakers that are made today are made for {Home Theater} Everything is for home theater these days!!.........
