Your "World's Best Audio System" . . . 2012 Edition

Well, that was not done. I offered to have folks do that and no one contacted me to follow up. Clearly another criteria was used to get the list down to what they wanted to test, rather than what was available per submissions requirement.
I made an offer and even contacted the company and they gave the green light to provide samples: http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showt....-.-2012-Edition&p=56191&viewfull=1#post56191
I was really looking forward to a shoot out of that amp against others. I have not kept up with the thread to know what choices were made for amplification. The offer did include delivery, set up, etc. as requested.
Hi for me the best audio system is of course the one that you OWN, i have been with Acoustat's electrostatic speakers since 1984 and am a panel kind of guy, but this year i had lot's of time to spend in the MBL room at the Montreal Salon Son Image 2012 and for around $40k i heard a system that put to shame systems 2 to 3 times that price for ME it is very important to get BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK and with the MBL Corona system that's what you get, this may sound funny to most of you but even at 40K this system is a BARGAIN i am 66 years old audio as been my only passion for more than 40 of those years i have heard many very high end systems in my life but NONE that impressed me that much OUTSIDE panels, i have always said this and still believe it, to get close to a panel sound with cone speakers you have to spend at least DOUBLE the money and at least for me that's still the case, i could easely live with both of these systems BUT my system is worth 20K and the MBL Corona system is worth 40K.

Wonder which master tapes and reel to reel he used??
I'm still reading the review.
True BUT they are boxes, or where would you house the woof woof woofer, this is one gorgeous speaker that i would be proud to own, but it does have a BOX.
-----Just take that lower portion (sub) out, and stick it to another (better) position. :b
Andre, what do you think of Avantgarde loudspeakers? ...The ones with separate boxes and that don't look like boxes at all.

Avantgarde loudspeakers are very good speakers BUT for that kind of money i would stick with panels THESE, Analisys Orion for ME the bass from a panel is what come's closest to the real thing but i did say FOR ME.

several members here have Analysis speakers, one (cjfrbw) being a friend living very close. He uses Analysis Epsilon. They are indeed very good to listen to.
Yes Bob, i do i like all panels but dollar for dollar NOTHING beats Acoustat here is a photo of me with my friends Spectra 6600s these speakers WITHOUT subwoofers blew away Martin Logan CLX's with subwoofers and it wasn't even close i am not kidding just this week my friend is adding 2 JL's Fathom F-112 to the Acoustat's i realy don't think he need's them but he want's to and there his so he does what he want's and that's fine to.
PS: These speakers are very highly modified special resistors - capacitors - bybee mod - +++ the frame is all 2x3 steel covered with russian wood they weigh around 600 pounds each.
