The most sophisticated sound you ever heard


Of course, it's an entire system but still if speakers are not capable of it nothing will help.

In terms of speakers
Classic Audio Loudspeakers
Audiokinesis
Sound Lab (IMO,IME the state of the art in ESLs)
Maganplanar (the 20.7 being one of the better deals in speakers)
Analysis (improving on the old Appogee design, bigger and easier to drive)
Pure Audio Project

In terms of shows, two stick out
Hawkwind- this was the first rock show I went to see while only 17 years old. There was a guy brandishing swords on stage (Lemmy) and some naked lady dancing on stage

Yes- Topographic tour, about 1974- This show employed enormous Roger Dean props, one in which Alan White's dual drumsets were installed. Tympani played on stage as well, lasers, crazy lights and extended versions of songs that took an entire LP side to play...
Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Boston Symphony Orchestra playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto.

When we returned home from that concert, I fired up my excellent audio system, very very good, but no match for the sound in Symphony Hall...
