Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)

If it’s accuracy you are looking for in a speaker and you have the room and open space for planars’, the Peter Gunn modified Magnepan MMGi’s are the most accurate speaker I’ve ever heard and they are also the only speaker I’ve ever listen to with zero audible distortion. The only speaker that has come close IMO is the Vandersteen model 7. This opinion is coming from 40 years of dealing with hi end audio equipment and owning over 25 pairs of high end speakers including six name brand horn speakers. These speakers are less than $3,000 and trump other speakers costing $50,000 and up.   One of his customers sold his pair of Wilson's after buying the modified Magnepan's.  

Check out his website and see what he does to the speakers. I just bought a pair and they are like fine pieces of furniture. However, your amp won’t drive them, you need at least 250 watts a side to make them sing. They take forever to get and the waiting list is a mile long but it’s worth it. Also, looks can be deceiving the bass coming from these speakers are unreal.

However, if you are looking for a wide sound stage, emotional presentation and bass that will move your soul, the Vandersteen Quattro is outstanding. 

Enjoy.

I believe he already purchased.  In reading this thread it's funny since the work accurate means nothing in audio.  It's totally different to different people.  Some go by measurements, so go by listening, some go by emotion alone.  It's the way it should be, but the word accurate just shouldn't be in the vocabulary of audio IMHO.

@ctsooner, I see what you mean but in a recent article about the Magico M6, Jonathan Valin does a pretty good job explaining the differences between the  “musicality-first” and "accuracy-first" inclinations:

My view is that you one can use the terms but making the effort of explaining his understanding on a particular term. Accuracy alone is vague as most people think their "truth" is the only one around.

Cheers!

I'll go read that.  I'm sure I will agree with him as I know what I personally feel accuracy is.  Thanks a ton for that post.
