Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

Not assumptions there Roddie, extrapolations based on what people in this thread have written.

These are not even horns...  c'mon, everyone knows that the best speakers in the word are Romy the Cat loudspeakers!! ))

@douglas_schroeder  One of the concerns about my possible purchase of the Von Schweikert VR55s was the height and number/size of the woofers. Can this speaker have great dynamic bass with 2-8" woofers, effortless and scale as my current speakers, Legacy Focus which has 6-12" woofers?  I intend to purchase the VR9MKII as it is much easier to drive, is taller and has more woofer area.   

Correction-Focus has 3-12" woofers per speaker.

I suspect in a well treated room, especially one customized to the speakers, one could achieve better performance from other speakers, probably even many.

My own experiment is there is no comparison between a speakers pair in a treated room and the same in a non well or non treated room....This is a fact....
