Top Ten Speakers of All Time?

Matchstikman, you should go to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It's every January and every speaker discussed here (that is still being manufactured) will likely be there.

Listening conditions are not that great, but considering entry is free and airfare, hotel and food can be had for as little as $500.00, it is a bargain not to be missed. Below is a link to my thread on this subject. Many others may be found by using the word "CES" in the search engine here at Audiogon.

No Tannoy speakers? I thought their Concentric drivers are pretty good.

I have a pair (# 17 & 18)of Snell Type A speakers since 1978. Apart from having to replace blown fuses and the occasional driver, the speakers have always been up to the task to handle whatever power source that I use to drive it. Rather than spending thousands of dollars to replace them, I spent $500.00 to replace all the drivers last year. Although the Snell Type A-III are probably better I think the orginal Snell Type A were and still are fantastic sounding speakers.

Although they're small, Mission 770's were a true classic. I always regretted not buying a pair when I had the chance - sweetest little 2-way ever made.

Started this thread over two years ago. Just shows our diversity and how all of us perceive sound. This is as it should be,just a wealth of information. A few months ago acquired a pair of Alon Point V floor standing speakers. After living with these awhile I have found them very musical as far as box speakers are concerned. The clarity and sound stage is just down right amazing. These have managed to replace the venerable Time Windows,something I didn't think would happen. At this point will be looking at the upper line of Alons. If you haven't heard Alon speakers,do audition a pair. I think you will be most impressed.
