Best speakers for Pink Floyd?

Spatial speakers from  SPATIAL AUDIO ,Clayton shaw (formerly emerald physics) are exceptional with PF and 45 day free trial. No sub needed!

Without question I totally agree with Owenlee.
I own the Spatial Audio hologram-3. I have the Turbo Xover upgrade with a twist 
since it is a very minimal 2 HD order Xover I  paid extra for his new prototype Mundorfs silver Gold Oil cap  for the ,highs and Mundorfs resistor
and reference  Titanium Nitrite Reference 1.75 inch compression driver in the center of the Emminance 15 inch driver ,then a matching 15 inch to low midrange and Low bass to 30 HZ. Please remember anything under 29 HZ is roughly just
vibrations ,lowest concert grand Piano  28hz Maxed out this 4 ohm speaker is 
93 do efficient at 1 watt for under $3k these open baffle speakers just open up and flow effortlessly even in a small 10x  12 room ,and no boxiness or energy 
being sucked out . Check them out . A no Brainer Best Buy !!

As a huge PF fan for countless years and one that has attended numerous concerts, on and off this continent, and as a dyed-in-the-wool audiophile that has heard the Floyd on dozens of high-end speakers I would offer this choice (subject to components and cabling):
- for bigger rooms the ProAc Carbon 8's;
- for smallish to medium sized rooms the ProAc K6's.

The ribbon tweeter with the dome mid and a dynamite cross-over that lets them align perfectly, makes them my first choice.

If a drummer wants to sound like John Bonham in the "best" way then they buy Ludwig and preferably a vintage set from the same era and in the exact same sizes and model that Bonham used and use similar heads and tune them up the way Bonham did.

The precise Bonham sound is not embodied in every dogs breakfast of drum manufacturers, drum sizes, batter and reso heads; in any Sabian, Zildjian or Paiste crash, ride and hi-hat or just any choice from among hundreds of different drum tunings!

There is such a thing as precision in sound reproduction....even in speakers!

Interesting question as I have often wondered why PF does not have the bass I remember feeling and hearing on speakers of the yore.  I am sure it may have something to do with the refinement in sound over the years or maybe its just my mind playing tricks.  What ever the reason, and I am sure many will consider this plain criminal, I jack the bass up substantially on my Mac when listening to PF albums.  And It works for me.  

PF sounds terrific on my Tannoy Canterbury's but then pretty much everything does.  Love cranking up the wall late at night to house shaking levels.  Neighbors are wondering what the hell is going on over there!

You'll be amazed with a DIVATECH BIOSONIC (by Jean Philippe MARTIN) Not a lot of systems around the world'll beat that machine.

the calibre of original posts here is really in decline. i want to know the best speakers for live at leads by the who, a much more essential query

The best speakers for the Who are whatever they set up in a 10,000 seat arena! 

Hello, this is PHARAOH53
looking for anyone that knows a good way to get my carnegie one cartridge,
this is in need off a  needle us or Canadian companies that can fix  its broken needle.

JBL L300

Vintage Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater speakers

for big rooms, A7 vott's-----------for small rooms A7 vote's.
Just had to beat a high efficiency speaker with a big cabinet, for any music.

Magico Q7 MK2 get them now.

Not to take this thread off topic but for all you Pink Floyd fans (and if you can't get to see either Gilmore or Waters in concert) there is a band called Brit Floyd presently touring across the country who are absolutely awesome! I saw them in Atlantic City in the spring and then a couple of weeks ago in San Diego and they were incredible. They are of course a tribute band but they are all extremely talented musicians who play the hell out of each PF song. If they are in your area, and if you have the chance, you will not regret getting tickets and seeing them!

audiobill1231 posts02-12-2016 8:05pmPink Floyd sounds real good with my talon khours and talon roc sub driven with bash 500sub amp khorus driven with a Rotel 1090 amp 1090 preamp and musical fidelity A5 cd player

When I first heard Talon Khorus I've always been thinking what can really sound great on these speakers and frankly haven't found a single piece of music that does. It seemed that advent minis($10 at goodwill stores) powered with Pioneer SX 626 did a-bit better job in imaging than Talon Khorus and imaging is very important for Pink Floyd.

I'll take those really big Raidho horns, thank you very much.

For the seminal albums, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were here, you need the 5.1 SACD mixes and a Vandersteen surround system (Quatro Woods, VCC-5, VSM-1, subwoofers of your choice - I like the Audiokinesis SWARM).  

Of course, for the stereo recordings a good set of headphones and an appropriated-stuffed Jib-Jab constructed hooter work just fine !

DSOM 5.1 and WYWH 5.1 SACD were mixed and mastered on ATC speakers by James Guthrie. Same gear that David Gilmour has used for for more than two decades

Any system let alone speaker that faithfully reveals the music and is capable of full-range sound is the right speaker for all music including the genius of Pink Floyd!

Big MBLs.  Cranked LOUD.  Preferably in a large room with plenty of black lights.

Youll have to to move to Colorado or Washington for the other key to legally enjoying the music of Pink Floyd to the fullest possible extent.

You know, while I like PF some effects take having everything dialed in just right.  Anything less and you miss a good portion of what's in the album. On the one hand, this means the producer got very creative, but on the other it means lots may miss what's on the track.  It's like a movie where only the best systems produce all the dialogue.

It makes me wonder what kind of speakers and set up they were mixed with.  The PF Albums I can think of were definitely not mixed for ghetto blasters, unlike a lot of early digital albums.

Best,


Erik

I do not listen to rock music recently, but at an audio show, I heard Pink Floyd was playing with JBL, which sounded very impressive!

Erik, 

check three posts earlier than yours to answer your question.

Largest MBLs in largest room with best matching amps  set up perfectly.  

I think I figured it out - the best speakers for Pink Floyd must have linear bass.
