Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K

Vandersteen 5A. It allows you to enjoy the music without the "audiophile sound" getting in the way. If you want music, get the Vandersteens. If you want the popular brand and the most audiophile speakers, take your choice of the others.

More to the point. You can run these speakers with any front and back end electronics and expect good results. As long as they are of reasonable quality you'll get everything that gear is capable of providing. Enjoy!

imo, i thought the joseph pearl's sounded the best at he2003 and they cost 20k. (VOTED best of show the last 2 years if that means anything). the 5a's sounded pretty good also, but i thought the joseph, wilson, and a few other sound better. The Sonus Faber Amati Homage and Cremona speakers sound wonderfull also. Revel Salon's are also worthy of an audition.

You've got to listen to the Totem Acoustic mani-2 speakers

Avalon Eidolons and Vandy 5A's !!

Hi, I highly recommend the Parsifal. This speaker has excellent voicing, very amp friendly and can play macro dynamics surprisingly well for there size. It goes with out saying that their micro dynamic performance is top notch. My room is 18L*15W*10Hft and they fill the room with ease. The offer the most non fatiguing experience I have ever heard and their transparency is awesome. The highest recommendation I can give is that I have been buying music (Blues/Jazz/Folk/Rock/Classical) steadily since their arrival in my room.
