A list is just that compiled by people with exposure to certain products.
What I find as a seasoned dealer is how limited this list is and there are glaring omissions.
One of the most notable is the missing KEF LS 50 which is now priced at $1,299 a pair. This has been one of the best selling monitors of the last ten years and they have received tons of accolades.
Other missing products are things like the Naim Uniti line which is a fantastic product which makes audiophile and non audiophiles alike totally happy, integrated streamer, great app, an entire echo system or streaming products like Sonos and a starting price of $3k totally affordable.
As per expensive speakers the new Persona line is easily a competitor with the Magico at $4k less expensive with greater transparency in a nicer cabinet. and why no Legacy Aeris which is a $25k speaker with room correction, a dac and a preamp for again less money than the Magico, they received a rave review in the Absolute Sound and with their advanced room correction were considered a game changer.
Also missing is Tekton which for $3k are insanely good loudspeakers as well as the more expensive Golden Ear Triton 1 or the new Triton Reference
s which a lot of people love.
In 50 greatest doesn't value, styling, and ease of use and simplicity count for something as well as performance?
I do agree with some of the items on the list and we sell a large number of the products on this list, the Nuprime Ida 8 is shockingly good and the T+A electronics are unbelievable in both sound quality, design and technology.
