The best speaker you ever heard?

I always liked stats and even purchased Stax Lambda's that I'm selling, however recently I've heard a ton of stats as I am getting a new system and for me, I've yet to hear one I like. No matter the amp, they just don't do it for me. They seems to float the images and have a bit of overhang (every company I've heard). On most occasions, I have to stop listening after only a few songs as the highs are just too much for me.

I understand why folks love these speakers though. It's just not MY type of sound. That's the neat thing about high end audio. there are a ton of choices as we all hear differently and our rooms are all different etc...

What do you like best about the stats? Do you need or use subs with them to get fuller range?

JBL Everest DD67000.

Still Vandy 7. I have listened to some fun speakers over the last month. Many are over 20k, but few did more than move more air in the room.

The ones that you continue to go back to and listen to for hours on end and hate to quit.

Mapman, so true. There are a few I've heard recently that I could listen to for hours on end and they aren't always theMOST revealing or the best bass or the best staging, imaging etc... If you hear live music you really don't hear imaging per say. I had this conversation two days ago with a distributor of a speaker line and he said it best....the 3D staging and imaging that we talk about and want isn't real sound. It's not what you year live, but live, you SEE in 3D and it takes it's place. That's kind of the way I'm starting to think of high end audio.
