The classics of the old days for me were the Altec VOT's and Quad 57's. Power, dynamics, impact for the Altecs and see through window on the sound clarity for the Quads. Both had some other serious problems. There was a JBL which impressed me a lot as a kid, but I don't remember the model #. It was in a small refrigerator sized cabinet.

I briefly listened to a large Martin Logan a few days ago which was impressive through Levinson electronics. Very much like real life, perhaps lacking a bit of impact. I've noticed the xover region on other M Logans. This one was not obvious on a "quickie".

With my cheapskate ways, I'm never going to own the word's best. Right now, I'm listening to PSB strat gold i's, Altec Valencias and RDL's. Each one very good in its own way in the right system.

There are no easy answers and even a big bankroll won't buy paradise here. I could be wrong though, just have to read this thread.
