Klipschorns with a Belle for the center was the best at the very beginning of stereo, and is still the best today. You simply can not fight the laws of physics. These are the most efficient speakers of all time with the greatest dynamic range. Because the speakers require less movement, they produce less distortion than any other speaker. As a result, they are the most revealing of all speakers. The only problem is that these speakers reveal any and all imperfections in a system. However, the full quality of sound can be diplayed using the best equipment. Also with a spread of 90 degrees, these speakers provide the most realistic spread of sound. Opinions of speakers are very subjective. Some like realistic sound, while others like a more diffuse, laid back sound. If you like realistic sound, klipschorns and belle is the best combination of all time.
I think the current Bose 5-speaker home theatre package will never be beaten for sound quality. The bass goes so low, you can't hear it. The mids...well, it's like a perfect reproduction of sound generated from behind a brick wall...magical. And the highs...the ringing in my ears never stops...how do they do that?!
