Most agreed upon best speaker?

>>do not have any room treatment at all in my room<<

Ah, I get it.

The old untrained listener syndrome.

Must sound really great after a cruise in the Edsel.

" but speakers have made HUGE steps forward"

I would agree.

Speakers have improved over the years in my opinion.

Vintage designs that have been around awhile but that the vendor still supports and continues to move forward with upgrade enhancements and improvements to remain competitive is another story.

OHm is one such vendor. I'm sure there are others.

Audiophiles like modern speakers...Music Lovers like vintage speakers!
