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.

I don't know that vintage speakers are the best or not but it might be true that more people will agree more often on models that have been around for awhile because more people have had actual exposure to these compared to any newly released model.

For example, I would be willing to bet that Klipschhorns, which have been around forever, would get lots of love from the masses compared say to some newer horn design that might be superior.

Generally, when something survives for along time, there is a good reason.

Kind of a form of natural selection, I suppose.

Then you would know that few speakers perform optimally in acoustically untreated hotel rooms.

Or maybe not.
I do not have any room treatment at all in my room and my vintage speakers sound damn good!
Add some and it will sound even better........... or settle for just "damn good!".

Vintage or not - balanced room acoustic treatment will benefit ANY listening room and music reproduction.


We all know the "aroma" of good coffee - how much sugar or cream you like in it, is your personal choice.

WOW vintage speakers? What are you 19????
If there was one single area where Vintage is best left in the past its speakers...... amps, Pre's, tuners, tables and decks of yesterday do have some bright spots but speakers have made HUGE steps forward. But I bet the kids at Audiokarma would love you.
