your favorite loudspeaker...

I own a pair of Wilson Audio's Watt/Puppy 5.1, but the new model 7 is amazing. It's my all-time favorite speaker system...

 

I love my Sonus faber Guarneris and they have a very high WAF - another speaker that I foundd amazing was the JM Labs Grande Utopia - but these are way too big for my house. It just shows though Claus that it's different strokes and all that because Wilson speakers just don't do anything for me - hope Santa brings you your favo(u)rite soon

All the best - Andrew

 

aaargh

maybe some of our moderators can move this thread in the hardware-forum... was my mistake

 

Santa Claus will not come to me this year I mean no new speakers

 

I love my Linn Katan's hooked up to the Linn Classik in my listening room...voices sound so real and there is real depth to the soundstage. Fantastic and highly recommended!

 

I own Infinity Renaissance 80's and have been extremely happy with them.

 

I am also happy with my old Apogee Caliper Signatures, but they need very much open space around them. I really wonder how these new tiny Dynaudio Anniversary Speakers sound... But: no money, no funny... ;-)

Me too gary. No loop for me this year. I do really like my Thiel 7.2's.

 

I agree. I've been using the same speakers for almost 10 years now and they still get me excited. I think it's whatever you're used to. I know my speakers very well and when I try to switch I always come away disappointed.

 

Oh yeah, forgot to answer the question. I LOVE my Genelec 1030 and 1031 speakers.

 

May I drool?

An old mentor of mine had a pair of Puppy 2's (I think it was)... Got them when "Mr. Wilson" used to come to your house and tell you where to put them.

 

klipsch, love 'em

I love my Maggie 1.6QRs. The first time I heard them in the dealer's showroom, I thought I had died and went to heaven. Then the salesman tells me that there is an even better, albeit more expensive model (the 3.6) if I would like to hear it. My reply: "Absolutely Not!"

Nah, I think I'll just leave this alone.

I debated wether or not I should post this or not.... but here it goes under fear of laughter..

For the money... I love my Sony SSM-F600H's

They're a great sounding speaker for the price. Anyone else want to fess up to likeing them?

 

I have been really happy/impressed with my Castle Acoustics: Conway II's. I haven't yet found, not that I'm looking, another that delivers the mid-range so sweetly although I'd sure like to give those Watt Puppies a try though.

 

Although I don't own any...yet, my favorite speaker so far, that I've gotten to listen to in person, would be the Martin Logan Quest's. I worked at a store where we sold them and got to play with them and dream for hours. Their transparency, detail and soundstaging are jaw dropping. While many have said that the electrostats don't do well on hard rock/metal (which I listen to almost exclusively), I didn't find that to be the case at all. They can kick out some serious bass when setup properly, in my experience, although they are indeed quite sensitive to placement issues to get setup properly.

On the downside, I found them to be so incredibly revealing that any minor flaw in the recording you're playinig stands out like a sore thumb. My listening skills weren't the most sophisticated back then so I would probably really welcome this quality now that I have a better understanding of what constitutes a good mastering job versus a poor one.

 

My favorite speakers are my JBL L-100 Century's. They're ugly, they're not very accurate, but they ROCK!

 

I want to say the Meadowlark Kites that I committed to over 6 months ago, and have not seen. Maybe the first quarter next year.... and I hope I like the way the sound...

 

Aren't those EV Century 100's?

 

I love my Tangent RS8's more than you love yours!
