The best speaker you ever heard?

Audio Limits, I'd love to hear them. My Scintlla does the thunder and whisper exceedingly well too.

B&W matrix 801 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy combo. Easy.

I just got back from CES where Quad Classics had a double pair of stacked Quad ESL 57s from their new production. It made me wonder why I had sold my double Quads. They had one of the best sounds at CES.

Von Schweikert VR5-HSE. I've had mine almost five months and have not once missed my daily listening session. Truly amazing.

While i thought that the Pipe Dreams had some very distinct advantages over other large designs that i've heard, i thought that the soundstage lacked depth. The imaging that was produced was rock solid, but it all seemed to come from a few feet in front of the speakers. I've noticed this on a few other line arrays, so it is probably a problem that comes with that type of design. If you are in a big, long room, the Pipe Dreams can "throw" sound much further than more conventional designs due to the fact that the sound does not "fall off" nearly as fast due to the geometry of the drivers. As such, they really DO play louder than most designs if you are away from the speakers. As i mentioned above though, every design has trade-off's and flaws and this one is no exception. Sean
