The best speaker you ever heard?

For a small, soft room, there is only one choice: Konus Audio Essence. About 95% as good as Quad ESL, BUT you don't have to sit with your head in the one foot cube sweet spot AND they can be near the wall! EVERYONE who heard them in my home agreed. Need at least 50 tube watts, though.

Yes, Ronfr, I sell Rockport speakers, among others. In 2004 I wrote on Audiogon that the WAMM was my favorite speaker. It was at the time and no, I wasn't a Wilson dealer. I have written positively about Transparent Cable, for which I am not a dealer. I currently sell a number of great high-end products, all of which I chose for their sonic virtues, but typically avoid "the best" catagorization and such debates. To my ears, the Arrakis is in a category unto itself. I hope that this does not offend and can be considered to be just one man's opinion.

I had a dream once that I heard 500 Bose Wave Radio's all wired together with Nordost Valhalla. No Watt/Puppy-6 or or a box full of Quads could even come close to that. It makes me want to go back to sleep.

I have to agree with Rlapporte,being a dealer has got little to do with personal tastes

Sphere, the bottom line is that every dealer is supposed to disclose this fact when posting about a product they sell. The conversation stays much cleaner that way.

By the way, what gives? You became an Audiogon member 5 1/2 yrs ago, and this is your first post? Where do I pick up your cassette series on the zen of restraint? :-)))
