I have heard many that in some way made a lasting impression to this day. To me these were all good and in some ways "the best".I'll give examples:
-Quad ESL 57/63
-Acoustat 2+2
-Linn Isobarik
-Apogee Diva
-Magnapan various models
-Sonusfaber Extrema
-Vandersteen 3A, 5A
-Proac Response various models
-Wilson Watt/Puppy 3
-Martin Logan Sequel 2
-Martin Logan Aerius I
And last, but not the least, and probably the most fun events ever (granted not the last word in refinement and resolution) were to hear a friend's Cerwin.-Vega DC1515's playing from his varanda onto an open field at a distance of 20m with the sum total of 1600w of Rms power from four mono amps driving them. Totally mind blowing if you can appreciate the sensation of a live rock concert in your backyard!
