The best speaker you ever heard?

MAGICO MINI 2 FOR natural sound great imaging!!

Rlapporte...okay but how much better than the altair could the arrakis be? you've heard them both- right?

you're not telling them what to buy just that you're opinion is the arrakis is best right?

The more world class speakers to which I am exposed, the more certain I become that there is no one best speaker or for that matter even a best that I have heard. Let me explain, there are certainly speakers that represent the best in a particular frequency range or with respect to a particular attribute. For instance, from 5000 hz to the limits of hearing, nothing for me approaches the Acapella ion tweeter; for the dead midrange, the original Quads float my particular boat; for bass below 100 hz, the 21" Cabasse Saturns are phenomenal; for dynamics, some of the better horns are unbeatable. Although I could go on, I think that you see the picture. The problem is that no commercial speaker that I have heard does it all. That means that what you perceive as best will ultimately be determined by your priorities and the tradeoffs that you are willing to accept. I think that Detlof has already said all this, probably with more eloquence, but it bears saying again.

If anyone has heard these speakers they would most certainly agree. I think the 6moons write-up speaks for itself. It is the only system that you really don't hear the speakers.
