The best speaker you ever heard?

It's just a fun thread. Most of us have said we love speakers that we DON'T have. We've all heard THOSE speakers and said, WOW, wish I could afford THOSE.....I've purposely looked for some of the speakers mentioned here. In the end though, I find it interesting to see that some folks have only heard mid fi speakers and some have heard some very high end stuff. it's just kind of interesting seeing where some folks are with their hobby. Again, no right or wrong answers. That's what makes this such a fun thread and why it's been running for so long.

Hazyj, once in a great while, someone will post something that interests me. But heretofore, it has not been a speaker with anything approaching majority support.

I really see no reason to have audio postings as words cannot convey sounds. So in reality mine is idle curiosity.

Understood completely. Thanks for the clarification. And I will also clarify something just in case it needs clarifying ...

A gathering of data is just that, but with some bit of organization to allow for greater accessibility. In this case orders of magnitude greater accessibility. If one wishes to analyse such data they can then do so much more easily, but any gathering of data such as I proposed would be without analyses, hypotheses, assumptions or judgements related to a consensus. Just organized data.

Tbg, you're entitled to your opinion, and clearly you have one, but a properly set up pair of ML CLX speakers disappear, not physically (of course) but you get the idea. For me, newer Quads can do the same thing. Electrostats can't move the same amount of air as a dynamic pair but they CAN create a holographic image in a room. You will certainly not get consensus on this, especially from those who are used to Altecs, but the experience happens nonetheless.

Everything is relative. For example Quads that still have their grills on sound relatively compressed, bass shy and unresolved compared to the case when the grills have been removed. C'est la vie!
