Nice and interesting article, good audio is not the exclusivity of Stereophile and The Absolute Sound only.
I liked that they included something from Acoustic Revive.

I am getting delivery of 1 of the items on the list tomorrow, the
Coda Technology CSib integrated though I paid half price. It is supposed to sound pretty good. |
what defines ’most wanted’?? by whom? for whom? for whose benefit?
more grist for the mill, the self-interested/self-serving marketing machine grinds on
not to say the equipment mentioned is bad, but basis for inclusion/exclusion is not disclosed... neither is selection criteria
yet another cooperative effort by those wanting eyeballs and those equipment makers wanting exposure to boost sales |
2021 I am only buying music, sweet music!

I've read several very positive comments and reviews regarding the LSA 20 Signature speakers listed in the article. Has anyone here listened to these speakers or own these speakers? If so, what are your comments or opinions these speakers? Thanks.

Although not mentioned but is shown with the The G.E.M. Dandy Polytable, is the G.E.M. Dandy rubber cork compound turntable mat, a steal of a deal at less than $40 bucks. One of the best aftermarket upgrades I’ve made for my table. Thanks Teajay

A couple pieces I went and read more about, but most of it is not for me.
|
I have some real interest in the SPL stuff. I find Teajay likes a lot of the same things I do in equipment. Had a nice conversation last week about it in fact. I also appreciate that Stereo Times looks for some items off the beaten path. |
Interesting list. I'm happy to see MHDT get some well-deserved recognition. |
@akg_ca that's the point, it's their most wanted & it's not all "uber expensive ".
What are you bitter about? It's just an article on some of the gear that they've enjoyed...so what? Do you just want to have a dig at people who can afford ultra high end equipment? Or do you just like moaning? The people in the article love music & hi fi just like you.
We're not all the same but isn't it nice to be amongst others who have the same passions...?

I WANT a pair of the Townsend speaker support stands and have them on my wish list for 2021. The Koetsu is too heavy for my tone arm, but sure is pretty. The rest I don't want. |
Nice to see the King Sound Queen V Hybrid in the list. I reviewed the King Sound King, and afterward the King III, for Dagogo.com. I own the King III following review. King Sound has an uncanny knack for getting it right with ESL. So, I'm not surprised that a King Sound speaker made the list. :)

Nice article and at least components at the reasonable prices to high end. Good to see Canary Audio 350’s and C1800’s/ I have the Canary Audio Grand Reference 300 B and the C1800 Pre-amp. The Grand Reference delivers 125wpc with 16 300 B tubes. Great sound and power.
I am considering the Rockna Wavedream DAC and Net server, so the write-up on the Wavelight was timely for me.
The hORN Symphony are great speakers. I was looking at hORN Universum which is the big big brother. They are not well known in the USA. They were a finalist for my two channel system until I ordered the Viking Acoustic Grande Voix speakers.
The YG Hailey is an awesome speaker....maybe a little hefty in the price category.
I am happy with my pair of Wireworld 8 ethernet cables.
Thanks for posting. |
The Cube Audio speakers are on my list to check out |
Thanks for sharing @teajay. That Denafrips ARES II looks real interesting, especially for budget minded.
Also, why does there seem to be the need for snarky comments or to denigrate others' contributions? I don't get it. Anyway ...
Happy Listening! |
Quite a lot of interesting stuff there. Townshend for sure deserves to be a "Most Wanted", something I know from experience. If they got that one right well then maybe they got a few others right too? |
|
If they say so. Most wanted wires? Ok. |
I didn't see a speaker on that list I would want. |
+1 for ebm’s sweet reply that kinda nails it ....”... most wanted to THEM (emphasis added) .... not me...”
A quick pass for me on any further in-depth read for many esoteric, and uber-expensive offerings that simply bypasses the experiences and budgets for the vast majority of us; and not carried even by the vast majority of high- end audio dealers.

Most wanted to them not me. |
