This thread got hijacked into a stupid marketing discussion that I regrettable got involved in. It was such a great idea for a thread that I thought it deserved a clean start. This time, keep it clean (on topic), and lets see what we come up with. Here is my contribution to the list. Now, do your part. You can nominate a speaker, or come up with your own list. If you come up with something, just give a reason why.
Here is mine:
1) BBC LS3/5a: You want a "standard"
2) Quads: Love 'em, Hate 'em, they were groundbreaking
3) KEF 104/2s: Again, a groundbreaker (I would accept the 104s here too)
4) Original Maggies: Something "completely different".
5) AR-1s: Need no intro
6) Dyna A-25s:
7) Mirage M-1: You guys can take the 901, this was the breakthrough
8) M&K Volkspeaker: Bose made is smaller, worser, and got richer.
9) Heil AMT-1: Breakthrough technology that really didn't "happen"
10) Energy 22: New thinking
These are in no particular order. These are the speakers that changed things IMHO, and that's just what you asked for. If allowed an 11th, it would have to be the IRS-V, the original "overkill" speaker that spawned a hundred more.
