Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

Fernando,
Yeah...looking forward to vinyl, as you know it has hard core entusiasts.
I purchased the NYAL about 3 months ago and was assured it had a great phono section. I'll let you know.

Let's not forget stacked Bose 901s!

Will stack my two sets of stacked Bose 901s (Series IV ???), with Technics Class A amp, Advent (Apt/Holman Design) preamp, high end CD player, and middle road interconnects against almost any speaker competition. I know it defies convention, common sense, science and the state of the art, but I cannot begin to count how many times I've felt embarrassment for friends when we do a listen-to-listen session, with their Wilsons, Magnepans/Magneplanars, Dalis, Veledines, Krell ref subs, Agogees, Klipches, Vandersteens, Avante Gardes, et al. And it doesn't matter the room, acoustics or source material. I look you in the eye and say get the 901s before they are discontinued...

this is a no Brainer I have gone to many shows ,
spoken with hundreds of designers and listened to hundreds of systems ,the loudspeaker-s that are easiest to work into a room and the most balanced are ,In my opinion ,the New JMR- Jean Marie Reynuad loudspeakers ,
The Offrande can do within 2 db at 30hz for a stand mounted loudspeaker and look beautifull doing it . a natural warm character, with great soundstaging imaging and detail
very rare to have all these qualitys cds I thought I knew are now showing instuments or voices that were lost ,
never fatiguing like some razor sharp loudspeakers .
A must hear for any true music lover , they just sound more real , compared to Sonus Faber or jm labs or even merlin , these beat them all for pure musical enjoyment all in all.

I'll second the Offrande; however, Fab Audio's Stonehenge floorstanders are more accurate, neutral and have all of the imaging (especially image size), soundstaging and non-audiophile detail. And they are very efficient. Build quality is first class.

I have had Polk RTA-12s since 1982, use them with a Velodyne F1000 subwoofer.

I have compared them directly with Sonus Faber Concertos, and kept the Polk.
