I want to hear from you guys.. makes and model numbers! What do you consider to be the "Holy Grail" Of comp. sets?

Huh? If you're asking what I would think the best speakers are i would say any quality Electrostatic speaker

speakers? subs?amps?

component sets...

without buying seperate drivers or using home drivers what are\were everyones favourite comp sets from the last 20 yrs...?

The best? I don't know.

I am fond of the Alpine F1's (Scanspeak revelator) and the SEAS components (don't recall exactly what model I heard). My subjective favorite based on listening alone is the Dynaudio System 360. But that could've been down to the install as well.

Oh, in that case, I've always been fond of Adire Audio's old comp set that doesn't get made anymore unfortunately. Best damn speakers I've heard anywhere.

I like the old audio art mids and tweeter they were great and good price

I heard a set of Diamond hex's I liked alot. Im sure there arent the best ut they did what they were told. For the price of rainbow's they ought to bust your nut. Anyone ever play with them?

I run diamond Hex in both of my vehicles and wish I could have had the opportunity to hear their D9 line.

I have been very happy with my Diamond Hexs. For the money probably the best comp set I have owned.

DLS iridiums are great speakers as well. I have been wanting to get my hands on some since hearing them. They are extremely warm and detailed.

definately A/D/S or MB Quarts are the best I,ve heard back in the day, not to sure anymore since dei bought out a/d/s and quart went commercial

A question for all you Hex guys... Are you talking the old ones or the new ones? I have a set of the old eton made ones I love and a set of the s660 or something close to that number that I've never taken out of the box, I just needed the xover for troubleshooting my setup.

Just curious, maybe I'm sitting on a decent set of comps?

I am partial to the older MB Quart Reference series. They just sound the clearest to my ear.

Im surprised no one mentioned crystal.

Old mb quart
old Crystal
Old eclipse

ya know I would like to know about crystal. They seem very reasonably priced.

From what I understand new models cant compare to what thye were producing in the 90s. Id like to hear more about the new ones myself though.

Back in the day I had a set of Fosgate Fanatic Q's........

elites thats why ive just bought my 3rd set of 9s lol!!

Two brands actually. And divided by price.

1)Above $500.00- The Dynaudio system 240 MKII I *HAD*- those were the best IMO.
2)Below $500.00- Clarions SSS600 (something like that) Signature series.

both of my sets are a few years old. I have not heard any of the new stuff myself, I hope it is not a step backwards......
