Well its time for a new Top Ten Thread. WOW-Have I learned a lot.Thanks to all Audiogon members.Have had several e mail thanking the Top Ten Threads. We have a lot of new members just starting their High End adventure. Info was much appreciated. I will start the thread for the Acoustat 2+2 and Model 2 of which I still own and continue to enjoy. So lets have your top ten members. --- MANY THANKS ---

Duntech Soverign is one of the greatest. They are easy to set up if you have the space. Very efficient, as close to reality as any speaker ever made. I had the crossovers updated by the factory in Australia last year, now they are state of the art. But they are big and heavy. They will reflect the quality of the upstream components, and are not forgiving. I use a 100 watt ARC VT100 with them which is a great match.
Also add a pair of Mordaunt Short System 442 speakers to this list. Untouchable at the price point.

You rarely ever see any for sale. Don't think I've seen a pair on Audiogon ever and I've been with Audiogon since the beginning.

If you have had a chance to audition the Princeton Acoustics PA-5 Monitor, I think you'd agree that it's smooth presentation is ES-like, (tweeter unit resolves down to 100hz, avoiding sensitive x-over bumps -- thanks E.Jordan!) Bass is pretty much unreal for a speaker of this size, and the finish is beautiful. A real unknown treasure.
gonna do brands here to show its more commitment and consistancy than a happy accident. some made some bonners, but many were among the best ever.......dunlavy/ar/rogers/hales/duntech/B&W/kef/impulse/ jbl/klipsch.....honorable mention..bozak/allison/imf/quad/maggies/ohm/epi......lightning stricking once, bose 901
