What were the reference systems of the past then??
I know the magazines don't award that nowadays for the sake of being embarrassed or laughed at. But in the automobile world or for the wine connoiseur there are those ratings that denote the top ones. Surely in audio one can be considered for that award or a bunch can qualify as contenders.
Yes we audiophiles can't agree which speaker or amp is the best, there is good reason for that; different taste or listening priorities.
As for me I thought the Wilson Alexandria x2's and mbl 101's are the best, with a close second going to magico mini, Verity Audio, Vienna Acoustics.
In the end I have to admit that there are many to choose from that are very good sounding, and I'm glad as one can see in our virtual systems there are alot of happy campers even those that have bose, poor things must be deaf.
