I humbly submit my Totem Sttafs as the best speaker I have ever owned.

Magico Q5s are quite something if you have the cash, but im very fond of the Q1s they disappear and involve the listener emotionally at a level i have only heard live!

The best I have owned are my JBL Synthesis 1400 Array's. They are modified with berylium drivers and Charge Coupled networks. Definitely my favorites although my HT mains are not to shabby in comparison.

The best speakers I have owned are my present speakers.

The Infinity IRS Series V that has been tri-amplified with Pass Labs active crossovers.

To each is own, for me if i have to choose between a $2,500.00 bookshelf speaker or a Magnepan 1.7QR, there is no doubt in my mind wich one I would choose.

Without hearing the new Evolution Acoustics, you can tell this.

Yes sir, you can only get so much for $2,500.00, a bookshelf is a bookshelf there are a few exceptions, this one being one of them BUT at more than 15k, i did say dollar for dollar and for ME at 15k it would be Magnepan's 20.7s

I have not listened to the Q1 time enough to have an opinion, but some people are becoming very fond of them and a cult seems to be starting. The editor of our national magazine on audio (named Audio

) raved about them and, supreme heresy, said they are the only speakers that could replace and surpass his Quad ESL63's in his own system. Considering he has owned the ESL63 uninterruptedly for about 30 years, it is an achievement.

I'm sorry but you haven't answered my question. The original question was about value and having heard a speaker, and all of sudden now you've changed the topic and are talking about to dollar to dollar.
