Any great speakers out there?

Tannoy Churchills.....I heard these monsters at Peak Audio. They are big handsome boxes. A dolly was sitting in the theatre room when I walked by. It was for the crossovers....They ran the monsters with bryston, E.A.R. arcam fm23 gear with siltech gen3 cabeling. They were big, loud, live sounding....not my favourite speaker but like my newforms, whenever they changed something on them you heard it, immediatedly..a great speaker but not everyone's cup of tea. We actually preferred vocals on the sim amp when it was tried. Here in Nova Scotia, people are starting to clue in the little $400US axion 22SE speaker. A friend, whose ears I do trust is taking a pair home. Soundstage raved them...we'll see....also another friend is running original Quads....he hasn't bought anything since he got them except music....cheers

Wilson Benesch Arc or Discovery. I've never heard speakers that are so uncolored and transparent as these.

Kwb and/or those who haven't seen this one yet who might enjoy a bit of levity: I presently have an auction running at eBay of a pair of speakers that DO seem to live up to your standard, i.e., they bring tears to my eyes, albeit NOT by way of their sonic attributes! Here's an excerpt from an unsolicited email one recent viewer sent me: "Good evening, Just re-read your listing (I read it previously on your initial listing) only this time I encouraged my wife to sit in on the reading...We laughed ourselves sick, as I did the first time through..." Frankly, I don't feel it's really that funny, but IMHO it IS at least worth your having a look. If interested, check out: http://cgi.ebay.aol.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1303949992
If necessary, I apologize in advance for deviating from the straight and narrow.

This of course depends on musical tastes, but since I do not listen to heavy metal or rap at 110dB sound levels, the Soundlab M-1's must be given consideration as one of the all time great cost no object speakers. I have had extensive listening experience with the Revel Salons in my room, and the Salon's do not have the ability to portray microdymaics and scale of the musical experience like the M-1's. I also find bothersome inconsistancies within drivers of the Revels that simply do not exist with the single full range panel of the M-1's. Certainly the Salons have macrodynamics that an electrostat can not approach, but the M-1's come very close. The midrange is simply stunning with the M-1's. The microdynamics and tonal qualities of instruments cannot be reproduced by the Salons as convincingly as heard with the M-1's. The M-1's are easily the least fatiquing speaker to listen to for hours on end. The only other cone-based speaker system I have heard that might approach this charcter is the KEF Maidstone. Having likewise spent time with the Innersound Eros and various Martin Logan speakers (CLS's and hybrid models), the Soundlab M-1's exist in a class beyond what these other speakers are capable of offering to the musical experience. I feel the M-1's exceed the performance of the great Apogee Studio Grands. Given the trade offs one encounters with speaker systems as well as musical tastes, the M-1 msut be considered a great speaker and a true bargin for its performance is far beyond what price would suggest.

i cannot believe nobody has said sound labs. come on guys. sound labs will scare you into thinking you are there. my favorite dynamic speaker is the jm lab utopia. both will bring tears to my eyes.
