Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

Caveat, I put price visa vis the era of introduction into consideration, top to bottom: Vandersteen 2's, Thiel 3.5's, Magnaplanar III's, Dunlavy SCIVA's, Martin Logan CLS, Quad ESL 63's, Linn Kans, Original Acoustic Research sealed boxes, PSB Alphas, Acustats. Honorable mention to Advents and Spica TC 50's. I haven't heard the Sound Labs, German Physics/Huffs,and I'm sure a lot of other worthwhile candidates.

These are the speakers that have most pushed my buttons (in no particular order):
1. Stacked Advents
2. Klipsch LaScala
3. Yamaha NS1000
4. Stax F81
5. Spendor LS3/5a
6. Quad 63 w/Entec SW1 subwoofers
7. Vandersteen 2Ce
8. Martin Logan CLS w/Entec subwoofers (the big 3 woofer per side jobbies)
9. Avantgarde Duo
10. Wilson Watt/Puppy 7

I've got to support Thiel. It's hard to pick an exact model, but I've heard a good number of them, and to my ears, they are the best all around speakers that I have heard. But if I had to vote for a particular model, then I'd say the CS3.6, which is what I bought. True, there are newer models that have more clarity, but the 3.6's sound very musical to me.

Yes, Martin Logan's can get my pulse rate up as well, but to me, they aren't quite as well rounded as comparable Thiel models. The older AR's are pretty darn impressive, too, especially when you consider their size and price. I have always thought that the TSW series from AR didn't receive the recognition that they deserve.
