Re: 10 Best Speakers-What do you think

207.54.141.78

Thanks one and all. I hoped we'd get a good response, but this is excellent. Many good thoughts.

I have a few followup comments to this point. We should get some more entries later.

The huge JBL was the Paragon. I considered that one, but I only had room for 10. It also figured in the Sherman Adams payoff scandal in the Eisenhower era.

I picked the Quad ESL 63 because of the timed diaphragm acceleration which made the diaphragm act like the expanding surface of a sphere. As if there were a point source located some distance behind it and the spherical wavefront were expanding through the speaker.

I figured the Bose 901 would get a lot of raised eyebrows. But it was based on a lot of research. And in the right setting, did a very good job of sounding like an orchestra in a large hall. Lousy for solos tho'.

I forgot the RCA LC-1. Sorry about that. Olson would never forgive me.

I did consider Klipsch, also Lowther corner horns. One of those little drivers in its horn produced as much bass as a Bozak Concert Grand.

I hope we get some more.

Thanks again.
