The best speaker you ever heard?

@melbguy1. My current system is one that I heard with a guy who actually has my gato fm6. He has the KR audio va 900 and he was allowed to demo a soulutions 540 CD player. It was really great. It's produced a slightly warm sound but with real big images and very non fatiguing sound.

I agree Calvin, the Soulution 540 sounds smooth and powerful. But it's the Soulution 745/746 which will ruin you! ;)

I've heard many of the greats... but... the best I've heard are the Linkwitz Orion's or LX521's - without question!

Certainly... the best for the money... especially if you build them from a kit from Madisound.com, or manage to buy them in the aftermarket.

They have all the best traits of the ESL-57's, the Maggies, ML's, King Sound, etc. and the best OB's with respect to the soundstage and image... while... having the detail, resolution, dynamics, tone, tenor, texture, range and balance of the best dynamic speakers available.

The man's (Seigfried Linkwitz) knowledge and experience of electronics and sound engineering is surpassed by no one's... and... he has successfully applied it in the design of his speakers.

About the only "disadvantages" I can think of are the complexity of the design, which requires active crossovers, and multi-channel amps to amplify each driver independantly... and... of course the WAF - they are not pretty.

But, the pay-off is... the best "live" sound you've ever heard at a "bargain price."

Don't even consider any of the "big brand names" - if you want the best sound available at a reasonable price.

@melbguy1. Yup put that soulutions 540 in a really good setup and its mind blowing. It might be the only thing that I would chase right now. I love my resonessence dac but the solutions 540 is my perfect source. It might be why I loved those raidho d5 said so much. It's bathes you in a huge sound field

I've heard a lot of folks talking about the Solution amps. I really need to get to hear a new set of those.
