The best speaker you ever heard?

original mirage m5 not to be confused with mirage m5si
punchy bass sweet,very detailed mids and highs and affordable

NHT 3.3. I wish I had written down the amp that was
powering it.

I am not a long time audiophile so I haven't listened
to a lot, but my next speaker purchase will be a set
of 3.3's, without a doubt.

It's got to be the old JBL Paragon horn speaker from 1960. Incredible warmth and balance. Now very rare. Anyone else familiar with these?

Avantgarde Unos. I'm still saving up to be able to buy a pair someday.

I have heard the Paragon several times and sought one for almost a year. To be at its best I am told, it needs to be on a very solid platform 18 inches high.

I would not say it was one of the best speakers I have heard. At various times in my life I would say the Infinity ServoStatic 1s and 1As, double Quad ESLs, the Exemplars, and the Beauhorns were. I have also had the Fulton Premiers, the Linn Isobariks, the Sound Lab A1s, the Infinity QLSs, the Altec VOT, the Avantgarde Trios and Duos, and the Duntech Sovereigns and Black Knights.
