The best speaker you ever heard?

About 1990 I heard a pair of Inifinity towers(maybe 5 feet tall) that cost about $8,000 each. This was $8,000 in 1990 .....

Each speaker was being driven off it's own tube amp (monoblock) which I think was a Carver (not enirely sure about the brand).

WHile my recolection back that far isn't so hot .... I can not say I'v eheard anything that stunned me so much.

My PMC IB2 monitors are the best speakers I've heard, within the range I can afford. That means until the Watt Puppys price.
They are stunning in an understated way. Transparent and powerful.

I just recently heard a pair of Apogee knock-offs from a Greek company called Analysis. The particular Analysis speaker I heard was called the Amphitryon, the largest in the line, and the most expensive at $20,000 pr. Jeff Wells, of Audible Arts, in San Jose, Ca. would be happy to share details on associated equipment. I currently own an amazing pair of Montana XP speakers that I felt I would probably keep for a long, long, time to come. The Analysis speakers absolutely "BLEW ME AWAY." They're sound was......."BREATHTAKING." Can't afford the Analysis, although I'm finding myself suddenly searching for a good pair of Apogee Divas.

HeHe....I saw your wanted ad. You may want to drop a note on the Apogee speaker forum. We have members all over the world to help in your search...they also sometimes sell, as they move from one model to another.

There is (or will be soon?) a pair of Studio Grands, Scintilla, and Diva for sale in the United States if I recall correctly...all in top condition from what I recall reading.
