No love for Pyle ?
Lol
Or Ultralinear? JBL knockoffs neither Ultra nor linear sold back in the late 70s early 80s. Sorry I am dating myself.No love for Pyle ?Lol
Since the D800 series they've engineered a slight suckout around 2kHz which makes them sound slightly polite in the mids, which tends to suit classical music, along with the way that classical music is typically recorded.B&W makes the worst speakers I've seen, consistently, yet scored the highest in this poll.
Love the name. Does George know you are using it?Since the D800 series they've engineered a slight suckout around 2kHz which makes them sound slightly polite in the mids, which tends to suit classical music, along with the way that classical music is typically recorded.
House sound aside though they are cutting edge in terms of driver and enclosure performance. I'm sure they would sound close to identical to Revel's if they were redesigned using the same design rules and principles, but you could argue that it wouldn't make sense for all manufacturers to roll out speakers that all sounded the same.

/all comes down to preference , most brands you cannot hear there only online like chane audio ar7x.I'm not a fan of B&W but they do make some excellent-sounding speakers. Every company has their own best and worst. I never cared for the looks of B&W's 800 series, but they sound great.
Ok, I give up, what's a 'false electrostatic' ?The false electro static’s with a woofer on bottom Martin Logan’s were better imo .
At the time Elac didn't have nearly a large enough of a footprint in the US. There could a bunch more added, but this what was going on at the time.Looking at the rest of the lousy lot, my vote went to JBL/Revel (naturally and by sheer basic principle).
However, It's a shame that ELAC isn't on the list for a vote, but, lamea*s Polk (lousy Polka Polka) and ear bleed hurtbox Klipsch got in somehow.
Nothing wrong with horns if done right, they have come along way.That's the great thing about capitalism, gives us the opportunity to have lots of options to choose from. Plus the ability to afford it. We all seem to hear things just a little bit differently. And we have so many options on the market today, anybody should be able to find something that meets their needs. Still, it's always a good idea to have your ears flushed every few years. As my ear, nose and throat doc says, doesn't matter how well you clean them, dead skin will still build up and effect your hearing.This could probably be ugly in here since nobody agrees on speakers. I currently own a Klipsch 5.1.2 setup so I guess that is what I am partial to at this time. I liked the price and the high detail in the horns.
RBH all the way. I have loved my us made JBL, KEF, Mission, Infinity. Since I found older RBH speakers locally, I have moved through their entry MC models, and now all reference. They are stunning. Looking at the cabinet internals, they are built like a safe. I love em.We'd like to get your opinion on who you feel makes the best built and best sounding loudspeakers in consumer audio. Your opinion should be based primarily on sound quality followed by build quality and durability. This choice should be based on the overall product line of a particular company and not just one or two products that may excel.
If you find a particular brand on this list lacking, please indicate why.
Give us reasons why you chose a particular brand or why you feel that particular brand shines above the others on this list. If your brand isn't listed here (sorry only 10 polling options allowed), please post the brand name in the thread along with your experiences.
I've heard some mighty fine sound coming from the likes of Avant garde speakers over the years, they love being driven by tubes and in large listening roomsNothing wrong with horns if done right, they have come along way.That's the great thing about capitalism, gives us the opportunity to have lots of options to choose from.

Agreed, they can create a huge soundstage. If people haven't heard them, they just don't know what their missing out on.I've heard some mighty fine sound coming from the likes of Avant garde speakers over the years, they love being driven by tubes and in large listening rooms
I've never been impressed with B&W speakers until I got to listen to a pair of 802D3s (powered by a stack of fancy McIntosh gear) a while back and they're still the best speakers I've heard. True full range speakers that don't need a subwoofer. Outside of those every one (B&W speaker) I've heard sounds lacking, I'm sure due to the engineered suckout you mentioned. Those D3s tho, phew. Awesome speakers. Way outside my budget, but they sounded very, very good.Since the D800 series they've engineered a slight suckout around 2kHz which makes them sound slightly polite in the mids, which tends to suit classical music, along with the way that classical music is typically recorded.
