The best speaker you ever heard?

Real landmark speakers I heard

The Apogee Diva and Full Range

The KEF Reference 205 and later 207 models (sought them out after hearing the 104.2)

The giant Sound Labs

The Vandersteen 5

The Klipschorn and in a different way the Voice of the Theater.

The Megalithic Nudel designs like the IRS series

Magnepan Tympani IV with Bohlender Graebener Radia for the midrange.

Symposium Reflections driven by 150wpc Wavacs.It was like seeing a UFO.No one could ever understand who wasn't there,dispite any description I give.

I second the symposium's. I'ld get them in a heart beat!!

First Hi-Fi I ever heard:LaScalas with old Mac Gear playing Roundabout on a Thorens table/V15 in the early 70's in a dorm room.
I will never forget it and nothing will ever really match it.

ADS 710 and 810 were great and like another post said,Double Advents were great especially the powered model.

Now 40 yrs later with 30 in the business of Audio I always go back to a Utopia of some variety.

I lived with Roy Allisons 1 &3 for a long time but who knew at the time that the foam would self-destruct?

I love my Thiels but if money were not the limiting factor I would have the big JM's

Our best systems are inextricably linked to an emotionaly formative time/experience. If time travel existed and we were able to go back and listen with our present day ears, we would no doubt be less than thrilled. Bozak sounded better than most to me growing up in the 60's thru the 80's.
