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.
This is impossible, there are so many great speakers, but here are my 10...Quad ESL 57, Quad ESL 63, Magnepan MG3.6, KEF 107, KEF 102, Martin Logan Quest, Rogers LS 3/5a, Infinity RS1, GNP 220 + Model 2 Sub?. I leave one open slot for the future.
Seems to me yall like whatever you own ,come on the martin logan quest dont sound as good as the request ,ascents or odyssey old quads while good in there day are so dated sounding now,not that they are not classics,but the cls 2z blows the old and new models away.and that speaker is old now.its just like food some people like raw oysters or beets i think they suck but to each his own.
