Speakers are the most personal of hifi choices. More than other piece of gear, speakers speak to us or they don’t and they live among our other things as part of the furnishings. You want to love your speakers.
The entire point of sharing lists like these is twofold: Of greatest importance, I am offering a shortcut view into my preferences. This kind of information is invaluable for readers because it puts all of my reviews in a more meaningful context.
The secondary reason is people love lists — like shopping lists — and I am of the opinion that the following list contains speakers that are all capable of providing deep musical satisfaction and they stand out in this regard from all of the speakers I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know.
