Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

In time, the Newform 645. The most bang for the buck in audio, period. (IMHO)

As years pass and more people have the opportunity to hear these speakers, they will achieve legendary status.

In no particular order:

Soundlab Ultimate ones
Quad ESL 63
Vandersteen 5's
Audio Artistry Beethovens
Magnegan 3.6

Here are my choices, in no particular order and chosen for the impact and importance of the speaker in its time,not necessarily because it would stand up against the competition today-although several do indeed still sound remarkably good:

1) Quad 57
2) Acoustic Research AR 3
3) Quad 63
4) Dahlquist DQ 10
5) Spendor BC 1
6) Spendor SP 1/2
7) Magnepan MG III
8) Klipsch Corner Horns
9) Large Advent
10) Rogers (or Spendor) LS 3/5a

These are/were all "real world" speakers, i.e., at least within financial reach of quite a few people of normal means, unlike some of the esoterica from Infinity, Wilson, Genesis, Pipe Dreams, etc.

all the speakers mentioned here are good to great speakers.i have heard most of them ,in one setting or another,realizing that each is different.i would be willing to bet that most,if not all the posters,have not heard piega p10 speakers.( if you have the july,i think, tas read jonathan valin's review of this superb speaker).i have had merlins,vr5s,heard dunlavy scVs',in fact a friend traded his for the p10s saying they are the best he has ever heard.i have heard 989s,all b&ws,egglestons,et al and none come close to doing right what these speakers do...they are magical.
