The best speaker you ever heard?

Well said Rumadian, I could not agree more.

There are 2. The MBL 101-D can reproduce the dynamics and power of a symphony like no other, but at enormous cost as you need the $200,000 or so in MBL electronics to get you there. For smaller scale works, like most jazz and pop music, the transparency of the new Soundlab Model 1's (whether A, M or U) is breathtaking, and perhaps a new standard in clarity. Electronics MUST be tube for them to show their best. Either system requires large room dedication.

The best speakers I have heard are the big Analysis Amphitreons. They are an easy to drive planar speaker with a long ribbon tweeter. I have a smaller pair of analysis speakers called the epsilon that do most of what the larger ones do, but not all. I have heard them driven with 100 watts and they were fantastic.

Simplicity oh Grasshopper. Wharfedale Diamond 9.1. This message approved by H.D.Thoreau.
