Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

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?

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.

reference speakers! I have some JM Lab Tantal, B&W's, and Boston Accoustics a-200's, and even homemade speakers, but if I REALLY want to hear how somthing sounds I turn to the polk's..There are notes, especially low 15-20hz area notes that they play effortlessly. Case in point, "Welcome to the Macine" by pink floyd, you feel the note it's so low, not really hear it. Some notes in Tracy Chapman's music that don't EVEN exist on my other equipment but can be heard clearly on these BIG bad boys. All this is not to diminish the highs and mid-range which seem as flat as they come. The 4 tweeters per channel help in the high end department. The imaging is unprecidented as well oweing to the column of 6 inch speakers playing the sonic opposite of the channel opposite...did that come out right, well you know what I'm talking about the cable that exists between speakers feeds the signal. I agree, can you tell?
