Mechans; are you kidding me? You obviously haven't heard the Revised Screamingloudbigbottoms Mark IIIa Reference Platinum Statements with outboard crossovers. Now those babies move straight into the realms of the objective...at least for anyone with two working ears. I think they were actually made from Adam's other ribs by The Creator and multiplied like the fabled fish to feed the many hungry ears who can actually afford them.
Actually, I think the point that Mceljo might have been emphasizing (and they can correct me if I'm wrong as can the OP they're referring to), is that in the course of many years and many speakers, a personal best may be somewhat relative to the system and room it was installed in at the time, while some that were not favored may have been far better under different circumstances. At least that's what I was taking as being "relative". Otherwise, you are quite right that the question is asking for a personal experience and opinion and is pretty obvious that it's entirely subjective. Except, of course, for the RSLB Mk. IIIa RP!
