Which speaker would you choose if you had a free choice

...the real happiness lies in appreciating what you've got.

And all the easier to do when you're playing Stevie Wonder.

Trouble with that plan-
How do feel when the crummiest speakers outshine your current offering?!!!

Win, win...

And it proves what a rubbish speaker it is/was.

The point I was making is I don't know the answer unless I spent fortunes on a amp and sources that match the said speakers.

I'm more than happy with my humble little bundles. They punch well above their respective price bracket(s)

Oh I agree. I think! lol
I was just trying to play devils advocate, so to speak.
You suddenly realise you wasted all that money on your previous speakers!

I’m going to say screw all you Europeans with your impossible amp requirements and prima donna fussiness, and space and money no object, I will go with a Klipsch Forte IV, or La Scala AL5.

I already think my speaker system is perfect so you can’t improve upon perfection. 🙂

Anything else would spoil it! 🙁

Having thought about this subject for a couple of days, I don't know why but Wilson Benesch speakers of some description appeals to me. It would, however, have to be powered by a full bodied amp, that's also dynamic. Possibly a Luxman. I have heard this combo years ago and it was stunning. Or perhaps a Accuphase.

Let's say.. space, priorities, preferences by a partner and money wouldn't be an issue. Which speakers would you buy?

i would buy some Focal Kanta 2, they are the best, i think for the system i am using ,but not sure if there are better with this specifications. i´m using still some old hpm-150 with some celestion ditton from early 70´s, this to have hearing of all frequencies needed, before i was using some tannoy´s from mid 70´s(big ones, with option of using diferent conections for diferent spectrum of frequencies) and a pair of 79 Sb-f3 from technics

LNN Klimax Exakt 350 (stupid name) which cost £41,500 or the Tannoy Kensington GR which cost a more respectable £9950. They come with a solid metal key to lock the grills in place and that key has it's own box to keep it in. Now that is what I call class.

With a lot of interesting auditions I would most probably end up with ATC actives, my problem would be whether to choose an solid preamp or a valve preamp to give a certain sound presentation.

Martin Logan ElectroMotion ESL electrostatic speakers. Heard Slayer on those speakers, felt like a live performance!
