Not sure if anyone has listed Cello Stradivari Master and Grand version (with Dynaudio drivers). They are great speakers.
Over the years only a few speakers have really sounded like music. From the 1970's till now I would mention; Magnepan Tympani D,Beveridge electrostatics , Soundlab R1, stacked Quads, dayton wright XG8-10 with the leaf tweeter,Hill Plasmatronics (best $10,000 tweeter ever),Watson labs ( Mike Wright design), Appogee Duettas,Martin Logan Quests and Monolith 111. More recently the Magnepan 1.6 and 3.6, and Inner Sound electrostatics seem like the best sound quality for the money. I have yet to audition the new soundlabs, or the Avantegarde line and Avalon Eidolons which have all gotten rave reviews. I have left out the huge mega buck speaker systems that few can afford or have the space for.....
I have to say altec lansing they have the history and the best sounding equipment in the world hands down.try there famous 604 duplex or there voice of the theater A7 and model 19s. they will simply blow the doors off anything you have to compare JAMES B LANSING is without a dought the grand audio daddy of them all god bless.
