ok, Sully sent me a PM to remind me to give my top 5 McIntosh speakers. So here is the list. I do take into account the monetary values in my decision as well.
5. XR7
4. XR19
3. XRT22
2. XRT25
1. XRT1K
Of course you will see that the XRT2k's are not there, considering I would have to purchase a new & larger house to buy those, I didn't add them. They do sound great, but my list is for speakers that I have owned or will own in the future.
Interesting list, seems your ranking is chronological linear with a positive slope. :yes: I'm sure the sonic quallity was high in your evaluation and you did mention the cost factor, but I am wondering did looks or aesthetic appeal play any role in your choices?... So here is the list. I do take into account the monetary values in my decision as well.
