Experienced audiophiles best speaker


We can get a better picture of which speaker is truly better if those contributing their favorites have heard a good number of the top speakers.
Include in your response the speakers that didn't take the gold.

This type of discussion often leads nowhere. I have heard 500 dollar Paradigms that sounded better than 3000 dollar Vandersteens. System synergy is EVERYTHING and that includes the room where the listening is done.

I don't care how good the system is; a bad room will not allow a system to excel.

There are a LOT of good speakers out there and few "experts" can agree on them because of the vast variables involved. Trust YOUR OWN ears first. They are specific in their ability. My wife has worked at a hearing clinic and I can assure you that there are VAST differences in the way we hear, just as there are between systems. Find what you like and enjoy the MUSIC...the system is secondary.

Well there is agreement that the Merlin VSMs are the greatestest speakers ever made:)
