Dream loudspeaker contest .... what loudspeaker would you take ?

[rmk]

Hummm, no mention of Revel ... interesting. Well I just got what I have wanted for a while now. I have heard B&W's, Dali's, Dynaudios and Wilson's. They are all in the same general loudspeaker class. The new Revel Ultima2's come in right at $16K MSLP. I settled for these these old funny looking things:

I always enjoyed building their model kits as a kid. The Don Garlits dragster was my favorite.

Yep, same company. Don Garlits???, wow you must be an old unit.

I was joking. It doesn't make sense for them to be the same company, as plastic model kits are totally unrelated to speakers.

The Mongoose vs. The Snake!

They're not the same company?
That's it I'm selling the speakers

RBH Sound Signature T-30LSE, 1st choice for me, if I could actually get my hands on them. They come in right at $15,000. Audioholics actually did a review on them back in November:

Oh, $8,000 and $5,000? I'm not too familiar with that price category. It seems like there's too much competition in the sweet spot, between 1-2k.

It really surprises me to see Klipsch as somebody's "dream" speakers. The Klipsch's I have heard, I wouldn't take for free (unless it was to sell them and buy something else.) I find them painfully bright.

I have never auditioned the Klipsch Palladium's, or the LaScala II. But from what I understand they are in a different league as the Reference series.

That's probably true, but I have to somewhat agree with Joe Schmoe. I haven't heard any Klipsch's I've been too fond of.

1st place: Bowers and Wilkins 802D.

3rd place: Bowers and Wilkins CM7.

I love that brand.

The styling and build quality too.

Definitely true. Miles above, actually. All the heritage line are really terrific. Like first row at the symphony.

I built the aircraft, F-16's, F-4's and such.

What are you trying to do?

Torture us about speakers we can never afford?
