Best system ever


Out of all the years of going to high end stores ,freinds houses ,stereo shows,etc...what is the best system you ever heard?Mine was a system from the store 'Overture in Delaware sometime from 1996 to 1998.They had a system hooked up that was just to good to be true.It was the 2c3d system from spectral/avalon/mit.This was what i had based my thinking of what a reference system should sound like.Till this day nothing has compared..Thank you Overture

Tannoy Westminster's. Unbelievable dynamics and texture. Dual concentric design sounds like a single driver speaker in coherence and dispersion except smoother, better balanced, and more detail.
So many people talk about detail as in JM Labs bright berylium tweeters. This is just boosted HF with overdamped LF to give the illusion of "detail". The Tannoy's give LF and midrange detail in the form of a 14" paper cone. That's what I mean by texture.
If you look at music, middle C is something like 330hz. Then there are upper harmonics of middle C at 660, 1,320 hz etc.**
The Tannoys give full resolution of the 330 hz fundamental not just overemphasized upper harmonics.

** Disclaimer: this may not be completely technically accurate and I'm sure the experts here will be happy to clear them up.
