The best "imaging" speakers?


Which speakers gave you the most "you are there" experience?

Cashmal,
I believe your comment is impossible to fault with a finely built and matched pair; however I could not really be happy
w/o more full range presentation.
For full range, multiple drivers configured to approximate a point or short line source might image almost as well as a single driver can because the geometry of how the sound propagates is similar.

There are some omni designs that do this trick with inherently wider dispersion in 3-d. Morrisons, Wolcotts, and OHM Walshes are good examples.

Small monitors and some floorstanding Totems like the Arros are other examples in a more conventional box design.

I like these designs for good imaging best, especially for more nearfield listening. For listening from a distance in some larger rooms, taller line source or floorstander designs with multiple drivers can work better as well.
Audio Physic spark ver 4 produced a great image with a deep soundstage in my humble system. The only caveat is they need to be rather far out from the rear walls
