The best speaker you ever heard?

Mint604...ever heard of the Bozak B313 circa.1962. My brother still has them and I must say, they are more musical than most current production speakers. Having been through the mill, I currently enjoy Totem Winds...Totem seems to grasp the essence of music more so then my Watt/Puppy 6's or B&W 801N's did.

Dav_B: I have a pair of these Bozaks in my living room. These do sound better than anything current, BUT they are only 85db/1watt. I think that you have hit on something important. The YEAR 1962 may be the dividing line , ANY speaker prior to this year had a great, real , full and beautiful sound. 1962 marked the end of an era(lasting 50 years) that was the GOLDEN AGE of speakers. Nearly 100% of speakers after 1962 sounded thin, distorted and not worth listening to. This could be that in 1962 the Alnico magnets and field coils were becoming extinct as well as the art of speaker making. Can anyone tell me how a speaker can be designed on a computer that will sound good to a human ear?

My brother needs 100watts RMS to drive the B313's but they are nominal so a fairly easy load. My Totem Winds capture alot of the characteristics of the Bozaks plus more inner and low level detail...check out new stereophile review of old Bozak Concert Grands...my brother had a pair of these as well at one point! Most modern speaker builders design out the natural dynamics and smooth full midrange that is the hallmark of live music. The new Wilson Sophia $12000 delivers what the old B313 did for $600??

All right, let's get to it! Has anyone besides Bob Ludwig and the crew at Eggleston Works auditioned the Ivy's. Waiting with baited breath! Thanks

My answer this time;about 5 years later,would be for the best speakers I've owned.--You know,that which I can listen to every day, Wilson Sophia. These produce about twice as much music as the Merln MM's I just sold.---Yet on paper they both go down to the same 30-ish figure????
