In my opinion, the speaker is by far the most important part of the audio system. After all, it is the only part you hear. OK, the other stuff really matters a lot, but without a great speaker... No go.
I am a bit 'speaker-obsessed' I guess, and now I am wondering: What are the best speakers you have ever heard, and what made them the best?
Having heard and owned horns, electrostatics (many), electromagnetics, ribbons and many other dynamic speakers for me the Coincident Pure Reference has a presence, tangibility and transparency that is unbeatable except perhaps by their PR Extreme.
tidal contriva diacera-se....my guess is that the more expensive 'sunrays' and t1 sunrays' would be better in the right room but in my room the contrivas'rock...
I agree about the Contriva DiaCera SEs. When I first heard them, I knew this was the exception to my conclusion that all speakers were compromises somewhere.
