Bob, I don't think the question is not what of the "best" speakers you have owned but rather which speakers you have owned was best amongst them.
I understood the question very well right from the beginning Jack, and my answer is still the same; the most honest answer coming from me.
Again, for the last time: There were none that I like better than another one; they all have their attributes and deficiencies.
And over the years my rooms keep changing too. ...And my state-of-mind as well, and also my musical taste.
I thought real long about the question, and my answer is the most honest that I can give, and I gave it.
Now, if someone is not happy with that and would like somehow to bait me or provoke me or challenge me, that's fine as long as that no one is obsessing with it. I already divulged my honest answer to Andre's original question from his thread, and that is it.
If you want to talk some more in a friendly manner it would be my pleasure to discuss.
But if I feel some 'friction' somewhere, time for peace and I'm out of here. ...Comprende?
And Jack, you are a moderator aren't you?
