Colin Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 "I've been an audiophile for over 30 years, and from where I stand there's never been a more exciting crop of high-end speakers to choose from. The goal--to make as lifelike a sounding speaker as possible--is exceedingly difficult, but that hasn't stopped a slew of very talented designers from trying. This Top 10 list was created without price constraints and is presented in no particular order, the speakers are all exceptional performers (prices listed are for pairs of speakers). They are all currently available models, but I will soon do another Top 10 list of the best speakers of the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s. I did the first "Top 10 greatest audiophile speakers" blog post last year, with a self-imposed price limit of $3,500 per pair (two were under $1,000). Most models are still available, so if you're looking for affordable options, please refer to that list. All of the companies on today's list offer less expensive models." http://news.cnet.com/8301-13645_3-20007800-47.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Colin, Pretty cool list. Did you have any Heritage speakers that would get close to the top 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinr Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 An interesting list. I agree with the Totem and the Maggie. I'm not sure about the others. What about the LS3/5a? For the cost no object list I wold consider the Klpschorns. Maybe Martin Logan CLX. Incidently I heard CLXs last week. All I can say is, wow! Lists like these are just so subjective. But they're lots of fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
