No but i know the Focal sound very well so there's no way they would suckDid you listen to them?
Nice written, and I guess it's true.

As far as flagship speakers go they're not extremely expensive.If I were a billionaire, I imagine I'd probably own KEF Metas, in one flavor or another. But I'm not a billionaire.
"Dream speaker" implies a certain whimsy rather than, necessarily, practicality. Accepting that, I'd say my dream speaker would be the Apogee Grand ribbon dipoles.
One thing that makes the Apogee Grand's is that they need a large listening room for optimum enjoyment, (which you aren't see in the picture below).. Another thing is that a properly restore pair, if you can find one, will cost you well north of a hundred grand plus shipping cost would be astronomical.

I auditioned some Apogees late eighties. Spatial effect from these are almost beyond comprehension. And those werent the top model like these. Like its said they need a large and dedicated listening room. Talk about wide soundstage. Apogees make a f****** arena!"Dream speaker" implies a certain whimsy rather than, necessarily, practicality.

I was going to write something similar. No exaggeration, they're not that expensive. Kef Muon - these are very expensive loudspeakers from the Kef company.As far as flagship speakers go they're not extremely expensive.
You don't have to be a billionaire or even millionaire to buy them.
I forgot about the Muon.I was going to write something similar. No exaggeration, they're not that expensive. Kef Muon - these are very expensive loudspeakers from the Kef company.
PS Is Muon not the flagship of Kef?
I don't know. Your speaker list includes speakers that I would like to listen to These big Genelec, Legacy Audio Valor, but also model V, Geithain ML 811K1, but also ME 800K, Augspurger, JBL Everest DD67000. Of course it's not all.I forgot about the Muon.
Well by price definitely, but have they ever been measured?
what a nice listFirst I would have a room made with infinite baffle double bass array or a wall of bass using Funk 24" or mach5audio WoW-32" subs.
Followed by as much acoustic treatment as possible.
And the I would start auditioning these;

I like the first. Nice big titsI thought we weren't allowed to post porn images on this site.
Everest would also be nice.I don't know. Your speaker list includes speakers that I would like to listen to These big Genelec, Legacy Audio Valor, but also model V, Geithain ML 811K1, but also ME 800K, Augspurger, JBL Everest DD67000. Of course it's not all.
I do not know the other speakers. I saw some on the internet, but I don't know the names of the companies.
I think I will second the IRSAs ancient as they are I would be interested in a pair of Infinity Reference Standard IRS.
Very nice! When did you get the VOT Altecs?I've answered this question here before in another thread (or threads) -- but happy to answer again.
Altec A5 cabinets (515B woofers) topped with 1505 horns/288 treble drivers and Jean Hiraga's XOs for same.
Outstanding, natural sound with the scope and scale of real life.
My 'space' would accommodate them, but I couldn't get them upstairs into it.

N.B. The split Altec 210 cabinet 'subwoofers' shown above would be optional, for me.
