Best Vanishing speakers

I am extremly impressed with the vandersteen 2ce signatures. They are remarably sensative speakers defining every nuance in the music and articulatingeach instrument. The sound is very accurate whether it be jazz or classical.

Avalon Arcus, Eidolon, Opus. They not only disappear, they wrap the sound around you with correct placement and excellent hardware.

Soundlab A-1's- hard to drive, but when driven properly they will change your life.

I agree with the comments about Soundlab and Maggies, and probably should include the Quads. All of these are capable of turning into pure music, where the source appears to change with every recording...into a true to life musical experience. Of these, the Soundlab is the best, and unfortunately, absolutely the most expensive.

I have had both Soundlabs A-1s and the Vandersteen 5. I far prefer the Vandy. It is both transparent and dynamic, and handles the entire frequency range well. Soundstaging is unmatched and the midrange is crystal clear. It is due for a major update early next year. At approximately $10,000, the 5s simply can't be beat and the longer I listen to it, the better I like it, unlike the A-1s whose limitations began to wear after time. One note of caution. The Vandy 5s must be biwired. Good Luck
