This discussion may exist elsewhere but I did not see it. If it does, mods please feel free to re-direct me to the correct location.
My List (in the approximate order I bought them):
EJ Korvette House Speaker (first speaker I bought after college graduation - replaced my college turntable/amp/speaker combination); Klipsch Cornwall; Klipsch Heresy; North American Sound, 3 Panel Maggies from the early 70's (don't recall the name or model number); Dalquist DQ-10; JBL L200; Fuselier; Theil (don’t recall the model number but it was their high end speaker at the time - early 90’s); B&W 801; Apogee Duetta; Apogee Diva; Wilson Watt/Puppy (5.1); Dunlavy SC-IV’s; Dunlavy SC-V’s; Dunlavy SC-VI’s; Seaton Catalysts; Triad Platinums.
Speakers I enjoyed the least: B&W 801's; Watt/Puppy. I could never get the bass of the 801's to sound any thing like real or normal. With the Watt/Puppies, I was never able not hear the speakers. I don't mean they did now through out a nice soundstage but rather they called far too much attention to themselves. Wilsons I have hear more recently do not have the characteristic.
Speakers I enjoyed the most(may or may not have been the most accurate): Apogee Diva; Dunlavy SC-VI
I LOVED the Diva's. Just a remarkable speaker (as long as you had the right amp to drive them. In my case, Krell mono blocks). The Dunlavy had one strong point - mid bass - but did everything else better as a whole than any other speaker I had heard up until maybe 6 years ago.
