Experienced audiophiles best speaker

I am not sure that I understand the intent of the OP? It seems to be something different than simply asking, "what is the best speaker you have heard?" It almost reads as if he is asking what is the best speaker according to those that have heard 100 or more, some type of qualification to the recommendations based on the level of "experience" of the individual making the recommendation, and some type of test to determine if the Tidal speaker would somewhow be mentioned. I am a little confused by it. And yes, one should certainly here the Vandersteens at their respective price points ~ not a dealer.

Hope these don't have to be really expensive speakers to qualify for this discussion.

I heard the Wilson Benesch Curves at the RMAF last year. They sounded pretty good to my ears.

They did indeed. With DeHavilland, no?

Sounds_real_audio is a dealer for Wilson Benesch loudspeakers, and it was in his room at RMAF that the Curves were playing.

It's a little sneaky to only stay, "I heard the Wilson Benesch Curves at the RMAF last year. They sounded pretty good to my ears."

The dealer status should be disclosed.

Don't know why this can be such a difficult concept to grasp for some.

Yes, a little credibilty gap when there is no disclosure, where statements can be taking with a grain of salt when there is a commercial interest. The Wilson's did sound good though....
