Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

JBl L100, stacked ARs (!!), Klipsch KHorn, KEF 105, LS3/5A, Dahlquist DQ-10, Magnepan, Paradigm Studio 80, Mission 770 - and that's only 9. The JBLs and the ARs are here not because they are the best sounding, but because so many of us got started with speakers like these. And, if ya wanna play LOUD, there is NO substitute for the KHorns.

Okay- you can laugh, but I love the sound of old Polk SDA-SRS speakers. With my equipment, and in my available listening space, these seem to give me the best all-around sound for whatever music my mood deems necessary at the moment. They can make Chopin sound as though someone is actually playing my piano in the other room, or they can rock so hard my dogs start to shed. Best of all, they fit into my budget effortlessly. Now if only they didn't weigh 185 pounds each....

KEF 105.2 also very good just perferred the two smaller woofers vs one larger woofer, 105.4 woofers seemed to respond faster?

Oris horns and klipsch la scalas

Legacy Whispers have got to be mentioned among the best. Yes, Wilsons, B&Ws, Martin-Logans, Dunlavys, Dynaudios, Genesis, and others, all can have great sound. But for the money, I'll put my Whispers up to the task. Real clean, room friendly, mid-range to die for, tremendous soundstaging, they truly disappear. For some, the lowest end could use a sub-woofer blend, because of the dipole open-air design, but that is the price to pay to get the rest of the package. They are also works of speaker art, especially in the premium woods.
