The TAS listing was 12 most "significant" speakers, not necessarily the best, in fact they are clearly not the best 12 speakers of all time, which does not mean the Magico Mini is not a great speaker, it might be, bust just to get the record straight.
The best I have heard recently that I found hard to fault are OHM, mbl, Magico mini, and custom GOTO horns. I've heard some PSB Synchrony and Quad ESL speakers that were up there as well.
Has anyone read the latest review in TAS of the TAD CR-1? It must be incredible. It was the biggest rave I think I have ever read in a review of a speaker. Where can one audition it?
Mapman, are the PSBs that good? They seem to be well priced if they can compete with the others on you list - all good speakers no doubt.
They are good!

Perhaps not the nth degree in detail compared to the others, but otherwise extremely good and hard to fault.

Driven optimally and set up well as I heard them, they are in the same league perhaps but more like the Reds or Twins perhaps, not the Red Sox or Yankees. The Red or Twins are capable of beating the Yankees on any given day!
