I have to put a vote in for transmission line speakers. The larger implementations never cease to amaze me when it comes to sheer welly and scale. What a great design principle. Enormous fun, especially when you can make the house windows rattle and things move...

I own Wharfedale E20, a friend, up until a few years ago, used to to have E90's. Classics of their time although compared to modern speakers lack a little bass - great for parties though
The Quad 33/303 gets my vote, had one hooked up to a pair of Leak Sandwich (the big ones!) and I would do unspeakable things to have the same again!

Very nice speakers for the money. I changed the tweeters to some metal dome (from MA 252?) and bi wired them. They are even better now

Sorry Joe! And Penguin! Only just read this! Wow! Nobody else has heard of the Wharfeys on here really...I love 'em, can't get enough...the E70s are my favourite (only because I can't afford the 90s) they are THE ULTIMATE party speakers! Their ability to thump out music is magical! And that's before you realise the E70s have a 94db efficiency with 4 drivers! Superb 70s beasts! Shame they are all trashed today...I saw some on ebay without any paper on the drivers, the person claimed "it doesn't affect the sound quality"....

That reminds me
Never put anything in your ears that is smaller than your elbow.

For me it has to be the Audiolab 8000a. After over 20 years mine is still going strong (I can't imagine how many owners its had before me). I don't know how far Amp technology has moved on in that time but it blew me away when I bought it. It really opened up the treble and midband and gave vocals a realistic open and breathy quality. And all from such a compact unit. Amazing.
