The best speaker you ever heard?

In 1996 or there abouts I had the opportunity to listen to the Jadis Eurythmie II speakers at the Stereophile show at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Even under the poor conditions of the show, I was astounded with their effortless and dynamic presentation. I knew in the proper room, with proper set up, they would be remarkable in all other areas, such as coherence and imaging. I would love to own a pair.

Klipsch Conner Horns with an upgraded xover system with a 300B SET amp, simply more realistic than anythng else i have ever heard.

Mrdecibel, I agree with you about the Jadis. I can find no evidence that they are still made nor find any used ones. I am curious how many were ever made.

This has become a constant quest for me. I am a speaker junkie, currently I own 16 pair. I have been very pleased with an odd pairing of a set of ADS L780/2s and a set of .7EP Digital Phase flipped upside down and setting on top of the ADS with a Auralex Iso pad between the two. This was it for me till I visited AudioVolo and asked Steve to hook up a pair of Mark & Daniel Rubies. WOW! I left the store with the Rubies and a set of M&D stands. I just ordered a set of Mark & Daniel Maximus Monitors, they will play a bit louder. I like to feel the music as well as hear it. So I listen at times around 90 - 102db. My listening position is about 11' from the speakers. But right now the Mark & Daniel line of speakers rock my boat. I co-own a recording studio (birdlandstudios.com) and our playback monitors are Focal Chorus 806Vs (QSC 1500) with a MTX P12 sub (QSC 900) and a set of Urei 813Bs (QSC 1500) with a Rayad sub (QSC 900). This system will blow your hair back, it sounds like your are there!
