The best speaker you ever heard?

Best speaker I have ever heard? There are tons out there that I haven't heard but two that I have heard; the pair that I now own, the VSA VR5 Anniversaries and the Magico V3s...I can speak to how they compare. I have heard both driven by MAC electronics and what I ended up owning pretty much speaks to my preference. The V3s are very good speakers...great fit and finish and attractive, the M/T was very good, in some ways more like the Von Schweikerts than different, but the big difference was the soundstage and bass extension. The Anniversaries go lower, throw a much wider and deeper soundstage and frankly, sound more alive. The price of the Anniversaries and the V3s is comparable but in my humble opinion, the Anniversaries are the much better speaker.

question, why do we always buy a pair of the same speakers? unless they are mirror imaged,i think it better to pick two speakers closely matched in power handling and sesitivity.ist pair you consider might have better bass response.2nd choice might have better high end.?.so why not get one of each, and obtain both your desired bass and your prefered highs.we are conditioned by marketing skills to buy two of the same. WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR YOUR SWEET SPOT CONSIDER ALTRNATIVES.TRY THE SPEAKERS HOROZONTALLY-UPSIDE DOWN ONE UP ONE DOWN ECT.you might be surprised at what you hear.

Energizer,how about shareing some of that stuff you're smokin'!!!!!!

to Tpreves dont knock it till you have tried it.

No holds barred, Krell Modulari Duo are probably the best speakers I have ever heard. At $65,000 a pair they should be.

Back down on earth, my heart belongs to the Dunlavy SC-IV/A. They're big and ugly, despite the beautiful cherry wood finish, and they deliver more sound/$ than any other speaker I have heard. Even with their amazingly fast and powerful bass, I still supplement them with a JL Audio f112 to bolster the bottom end. Total MSRP for the set is about $12,000. That's hard to beat.
