Speakers I have owned or listened to extensively:
IMF TLS 80
Braun 880 and 1010
Rogers LS 3/5a
DCM TimeWindows
Mission 770
Kef 105
Apogee Caliper Signatures and Duettas
Avalon Eclipse, Ascent and Eidolon Diamond
B&W (too many to mention)
ProAc (many models)
LivingVoice Avatar OBX2
Quad ESL57 and 63
Okay, there are others but this is the main list.
I would have to say that the ESL57s are my favourite and (for me) the best. They just get me closer to the musicians than anything else I have tried.
