The best speaker you ever heard?

Hard to get and not for the sub-40 hz bass lovers, but the mids and highs are heavenly. Best imaging, vocals, fit and finish (great WAF!) and under $1000, including Alpha Core inductors, Mills resistors and AudioCaps!

I have never heard a speaker with a smoother top and middle.

Cannot help but notice that your log in appears to be J. Giuffre. Any kin to the famous Jimmy Giuffre, the EXCELLENT jazz musician?

I believe that this thread will fill out by a few of us who were in NYH.

So far it was Joseph Pearl.

The best speakers I have ever heard are the speakers that are currently in my system at home Tylers acoustics Lynbrook monitors. They retail for $4,700 new. I have listened to loads of very expensive speakers ($5,000 to $30,000+) at various shows and showrooms but none have sounded better than the setup I have at home. Now I am not saying that the Lynbrooks are the best speakers around but in my system it has sounded better than any speaker I have heard. I am lucky in that for now it's a keeper.

They might not be the best speaker out there,but for the Money and for people who do not have large listening area's these speaker's are about as good as it get's before going into the $4000+ bracket!

NEAR's use Inverted Dome Tweeter's similar to the ones used by Wilson\Watts Series.The only drawback I had found when auditioning them a time ago was an uncontrolled Bass which I shall be getting the most advanced version to date.A new Crossover and possibly newer driver's.

They are not a hard load to drive either ,but being Made of Metal Driver's they might not take well to Tubes.

I have a pair of NEAR M15's Modified with a Woofer\Mid that plain blows B&W CDM 1NT's away in shame.The Bass Articulation of these driver's are the best I had ever heard and that goes for 3-way speaker's.Deep ,Taut ,accurate bass with a perfect blending of Mids and Sweet Highs.

Hope you all find the Audio Nirvana that I have!
