@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are

Wilson Audio Watt/ Puppies
And I disagree- speakers do sound different with different amps.  I drive my WA with Krell- a killer combo!

Vandersteen Treo CTs with two 2wq subwoofers

Tell me what speakers you choose and why ....

Daedalus Ulysses, in quarter sawn white oak solid hardwood.

Why:

1)Top-notch sound quality.
2)Wide dynamic range, specifically the ability to cleanly reproduce the peaks of well-recorded classical symphonic music, which on some of the recordings in my collection can reach 105 db at the listening position.
3)Doesn’t require a high-powered amplifier to do so.
4)Doesn’t require a subwoofer.
5)Tube-friendly impedance characteristics; great versatility with respect to amplifier selection.
6)Good imaging.
7)Elegant, refined appearance that is a reasonable match to my wood-panelled 1950s living room.
8)A price that is considerably less than that of a new car.

Custom ETON Arcosia and Symphony II based Tyler Acoustic D1X. Why? Wanted a sound customized to my tastes and to own something unique. I was able to bypass the insane markup that would have come with getting a brand name speaker with drive units of this quality.

Vandersteen 4A - because they were one of the best all round performers back in the late 80s /early 90s despite the tri wire/biamping complexity

Martin Logan (original) CLS - because the mid range is sooo perfect on acoustic material - jazz, classical, and voice.

Wilson Maxx 2 - because they were the biggest slice of full range reality I could afford.

What pigeonhole do I fit into - I still use and enjoy them all.
