Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????

KEF Q1 bookshelf speakers are oddly adept at imaging...
i got a couple of these as Get-By speakers, after i sold my old deftechs and processor to upgrade my processor...

$225 a pop, and they sound in my view, far better than the Definitive Technologys BP2004TLs which sell for $800 each. (and no, it was not the processor holding the deftechs back, ive done side by side comparisons on the same processor with these)

these were origionally get-by speakers but thier performance totally floored me, very suprising.

Anyways, these things image like steven speilberg. talk about depth and pinpoint accurracy.

what started out as a "Get by" speaker has turned into what will probably be one of my favorite and most cherished stereo posessions.

These are 2 modern day speakers that image well.

Ok, you gonna keep us in suspense, or are you gonna tell us which two those are?

After further listening in real world rooms I have to lean towards the Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7s followed by the Sophias and the Kharmas. Sound this good in a typical room only gets better when the room is tricked-out. The Kharmas and Wilsons are so close that any difference becomes personal. The one element that really impressed me was how much of a difference an interconnect makes. The sound stage that the Valhalla throws when everything is equal and with a push of a button you can go from one IC to another, is not only audible but its dramatic. I trust what I witnessed and what I heard because the demo was on my system and I was given a week to play. Peace and Good Listening , Pat.

Meech33 - Do you remember what recording you were listening to when you had this experience? I was listening to a shop's reference system once and found it very flat and I was in shock at the cost for the sound they were getting. Then they spun the Classic 45 version of Louis Armstrong's St. James Infirmary. WHOA! Talk about imaging and analogue over digital...it was religious. I always liked Armstrong but I never realized how much he truly deserved to be the american legend he is until that day. It wasn't the speakers nearly as much as the recording. That sound has been the dragon ive been chasing ever since.
