The Sound of Speaker.

Before going to the journey looking for a best speaker that suit our ears I think we should separate them first.
It seems much easier to find it if we listen to Regular 1-2-3 ways Box-speaker or Electrostatic Ribbon Panel or Horn speaker. Generally one-type of speaker have the same sound characteristic.
But those 3 different type very much having big different sound characteristic.
See and listen to all first, then narrow it down to whatever type that suit our ear best.
As my journey has ended at a Horn-speaker.
Just my 2 cents.

@OP,
Unfortunately, if you want to be on Audiogon, you need to develop a thick skin. There are many self-professed 'experts' here who's opinions would be better taken if they used a bit more tact/reserve.

That being said, though I can understand you belief, I think you should audition all those speakers before making such all encompassing judgements.

He did give up on Rega. Now he wants to be an expert on all design and speaker types. Good luck.

I see you're trying to get at categories of sound that go with categories of speaker. This is an overgeneralization, but it's not completely wrong. My experience of listening to box speakers vs. electrostatics vs. those incorporating AMT ribbons vs. dipoles showed some pronounced differences which was partially attributable to their approach.
