Experienced audiophiles best speaker

The best speaker's are the one's that best fit your situation. Like your room size, budget, taste, wife, cat, etc.

Everyone's situation is different of course.

I'am very happy with my Innersound Kaya's.

Other speakers I have heard at shows and dealers that I like are.

Vandersteen 7
Vienna Acoustics The Musik
Scaena
Avalons
Merlins
Soundlabs
Quads
Harbeths

I have heard MBL's a couple of times and have not been impressed. Maybe the third time is the charm.

Also have heard many different Wilson Audio speakers and havent liked them enough to pull the trigger. The Alexandria's driven by VTL sound quite good but are out of my price range and probably would not work in my room either.

The speaker's I have not heard but would like to are.

Magico
Rockport
Tidal
Evolution

These are not represented in my area or RMAF the last two years.

Cheers,

Sean

Brian, Must have missed Tidal last year. Hopefully they will be there this year.

Mapman, I agree that optimal setup is crucial. I am sure that some of the speakers I did not care for were not setup optimally.

Given enough time and money you could build a system around most of the top notch speakers out there and get good results for your taste.

Here are a couple more I liked that I forgot about. It is nice that there are so many options.

Classic Audio Reproductions ( If I had the room )
Oswaldmillsaudio AC-1

Also would like to heard some Coincidents as well.
