The best speaker you ever heard?

Truth, Class A, Dynamic, bass, blah, blah, blah...Someday you will stop listening to the vast amounts of equipment you have already owned in such an incredibly short time, and actually start listening to the music. Until then good luck.

I'm sorry if my journey for the best reproduced sound I can obtain distasteful for you Jc. I am curious however why you are upset? Most of my audio journeys have been an attempt to fuse tube dynamics and 3 dimensionality with the transient accuracy of solid state. Technology has caught up with me...simple as that! I was spoiled at an early age with exposure to great sound from the likes of the BSO.

Dave,
I'm curious about your impressions of the HD220.
I have a 300.2,and I'm thinking of upgrading.I've been unable to audition the HD220.The rest of my system consist of a ARC CD3MK2,a ARC LS26 and proac 1sc speakers.

Check out my review of the HD220 on A'gon! It has turned into one of the finest amplifiers ever to grace any of my systems. Words can hardly describe how happy I am with my purchase..it is reference caliber sound for sure!! The HD220 controls my Res 2's with great finesse....kick ass dynamic, full of life and detail with no grain or strain. It re-creates the event of a live performance like few other amps can...phenomenal with my Ref 3. For power cable specifics see the review or call Dave @ 610-399-1398.

i haven't heard a lot of the contenders, and my own exp with the below was extremely limited but my god the Magic Model 6s were phenomenal when I had spent an hr with them: driven by all Audio Rsch Ref gear set up. Needs a big room though. But holy cow.
