Well lately i had the pleasure of listening to a pair of modified Acoustat Spectra 6600, of course i have not heard every speaker out there, but at 64 years old i have listend to many, 2 channel audio as been my passion for more than 40 years, and dollar for dollar i haven't heard anything that even comes close, you can see pictures of those Acoustats in MrAcoustat member gallery on Canuck Audio Mart, the small ones are mine Acoustat 1+1s and the big ones are my friend Jocelyn they are Acoustat Spectra 6600, both where rebuilt by him with lots of T.L.C.

YES!
The IMF's were so beautifully voiced...when I voiced my LSA1 and LSA2's (Standard, Signature and Statements) those are the speakers that I had in mind. Of course, the goal is 'live music', but realistically, we've all been bitten by some speaker which we fell in love with at a moment in time, which haunts us.
Bud Fried used to call me several times a month--and we'd talk about design and music--he was an amazing man.
One thing I did with the design, was to overstuff the cabinets of the Statements, with real wool--the difference it made was remarkable. That was a Bud Fried 'basic'...natural fabrics for cabinets! I remembered, and so many years later, could find nothing better to use than natural wool.

But, top ten---MBL's big boys are the best IMHO.
Followed by the LSA10's which never saw the light of day...but were fabulous nevertheless.
