The ultimate speaker you want, but do not have

Polk 1.2tl with an upgraded crossover would do me just fine.

Hmmmm; Now that's funny. About a month after I made that post I found a pair of them and that has ended the speaker quest for my main rig.
I wonder if anyone else that posted on this old thread has also been fortunate:scratch2:
 
Wilson Audio MAXX, but I'd settle for a Sasha/Watt Puppy:

I don't know about ultimate because I have never heard these, but know of them. I like the looks and would not mind hearing a pair. Of course, if I had the money and really liked them I'd have to redo the living room into a set from Battlestar Galactica (original series) because those speakers remind me strongly of Cylons.:D
 
My current choice would definitely be the project Everest DD66000

I might also go for the Everest DD66000, but I would want to listen to a pair of The Westminster Royal Special Edition Loudspeakers as they reak of quality as well. But there are a few others that I would have to listen to as well when your talking about getting the best, one would be a pair of MOON AUDIO™ Signature Titan II Speakers, another would be the Westlake Audio SM-1's, and of course being an Infinity fan the Gensis 1.2's.
 
I'd go for the JBL Paragon. I have the plans for the cabinet, and the drivers can be had over time with patience. I can do pretty decent cabinetry, so it's in the back of my mind to build one of those things before I get too old to do it. t reality, the best I will probably ever do is a pair of Klipsch Jubilees. At least you can adjust the sweet spot. I've wondered if the listening zone for the Paragon is very large.

Oh well, with my budget, I'm just glad to have my Heresys!

I've heard these, fell in love at first listen:

Avalon Acoustics - Indra

I lust for these:

Avalon Acoustics - Sentinel

Any of the below would suit me just fine. Only conundrum would be that I'd need to upgrade the rest of my gear to do these speakers any justice.

In no particular order:

- Focal Grand Utopia EM
- Magico Q7
- Wilson Audio Alexandria XLF
- YG Acoustics Anat III

Oh and btw... the above speakers share one thing in common. They're all priced above $100,000. Now where did I put my Powerball tickets?
 
Yet another vote for Khorns. Ive owned some mid-70s Cornwalls (CBRs) and just have this thing for the big Klipschorn.
 
In my price range I have always wanted a modded rebuilt set of Polk Audio SDA SRS 1.2TL:

Out of my price range:

Quintessence Stealth SVI

Magico Q7, but since I love the JL Audio subs, most likely the Q5 with Gothams would be the choice. Nahh.... Q7's with Gothams. Most likely Luxman B1000f amps.... or dual Accuphase A200's. Come to think of it, I haven't checked my lottery ticket yet either.

Everything shown is out of my price range even in my dreams, but fun to look at.
This picture reminds me the first time I saw Focals. I asked the dealer who broke the speakers.:D Found out real fast they weren't broken.
 
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...

i'll second that!
