The ultimate speaker you want, but do not have

[mhardy6647]

Shahinian Obelisks.

An Army buddy of mine bought a pair in '77 when they first came out. I'll never forget the effortlessness these seemed to display. Never knew what a soundstage was until then. And we were listening to FM through a TOTL JVC reciever while stationed @ Ft. Meade.

Kind of made it hard to go back to the barracks and listen to my Polks. :tears:

Very good speakers they are (and still in production today); but not really leaps and bounds ahead of the Polks of their era as far as I am concerned. de gustibus and all that...

An old friend has a pair of Dunlavy SC-IVs, and they are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard. Upgraditis is a constant here. So I will go with the Dunlavy SC-VI Signatures.

But since I'm an Infinity guy, and I don't have a room large enough for the Dunlavy's, I have this gut feeling that these: Infinity Prelude MTS

are really what I'm after.

A pair of time windows in good condtion would keep me on the couch , till spring at least. Not too big, decent sound. And a flashback from my life in the early 80's ,, without the dry heaves in the morning.

I have always wanted to try a pair of Klipschorns. Just something about them.

Me too. Even a beat-up pair would be OK with me. Dunno about my wife, though

+1...Sooooooo classy!

Like to try some Carver amazings or infinity's (upper end with a price range I can't afford.

I ordered a pair of Von Schweikert VR33. They're the least expensive in the line, and are supposed to be room placement friendly. Albert Von Schweikert demo'd them for me. I thought they sounded good in his facility, and I enjoyed my conversation with him. So I'll give them a whirl.

Cost no object I'd love to try some B&W 802 Diamonds, I'd love to hear some Martin Logan electrostatics, Wilson Sasha watt puppies, Linkwitz Orion, and frankly any other speaker which has a enthusiastic following and would fit in my room and could listen to in my room.

I'm conservative about chasing audio nirvana. I think its a bit like chasing the end of the rainbow, I'll just never get there. Even after spending tons of bucks. My room sucks, the furniture arrangement is dictated by other uses. Many recordings just don't sound good on anything. In fact I've replaced perfectly good equipment on the backs of bad recordings. I think others have too.

With all that said, I'd love to try some of the high end speakers.

Duntech Sovereigns.

 

[DHawk_2009]

ya i agree with balifly some yamaha ns 1000 or nsx 10000 would rock my system pretty hard i believe, have wanted a pair for awhile now.

 

[Kahoona]

I'd go for the original Klipsch corner horns in all of their big assed old time glory! I don't even care it they are the Birch Ply rough finish. I know that they won't sound as good as a lot of newer speakers but just for the sheer audacity of it all...

 

[bluesky]

JBL 4300 series.

 

[Speakerbox]

#1.........Infinity RS-IIb

#2...OR the Carver Amazings

#3....OR the JBL XPL speaker set

 

[jeremyjustic]

I'd like something small and compact.... like these!

 

[Fast_Eddie]

There's a lot I'd be happy with. Just a few off the top of my head. Kinda all over the place, and not all of them out of reach.

 

[OvenMaster]

KEF Maidstones (aka R109s. Thanks to AKer Massive Lee for the pic)

 

[FauxHall]

Call me a Musical Romantic....

I think I'd like the Spendor SP100s. Never heard them, just one of the smaller products.

In Dark Cherry too, with stands, driven by some quality 100wpc tube monoblocs,

Please.

 

[mhardy6647]

oooooooohh.

What is the model off the last speaker looks nice.

While the Revel Salons I mentioned earlier would be more practical and more likely to happen (although still quite a stretch), I've decided I'd have more fun with a pair of these stacks:

They look insane you need to own night club for them :tongue:

 

[BankShot]

oooooooohh.

That looks like a banquet room at the MGM Grand in Vegas. Those speakers must have been the ones heard shaking the west wing so badly one night last year....................
