If you had to choose a NON planar speaker, what would it be?

If money was no object.... I think I would have to give the Krell LAT-1000's another listen. Then again, if money was no object, we would all have Statements!

The Vandersteen Quatros and 5As are amazing speakers at a fraction of the cost of the competitors.

Among the speakers I've actually heard, Wilson Watt Puppy 7.
I'd love to hear the MBL 101E in an A/B/C test with the Wilsons and ML Summits.

I'd like to try some top of the line ELACs, or acapella (I really want to hear that plasma tweeter), MBLs, or a 7-8' tall DIY line array using Raven R1 tweeters and a matching (focal?) midrange/woofer. (or a dali megaline as a compromise 
)

That's the spirit Ian, some big Line Array's !
Maybe the Wisdom Audio Grande's, yeah that's the ticket. Oops, they're planar magnetic, oh well, no point sources for me, thanks.

I'm leaning more towards the Neo3-PDR - daytonRS180 right now (as a more budget line array) though I'd love to upgrade to the Scan-Speak 18W8531G - but it's $200/driver or the Seas Excel W18NX ($155/driveR) as opposed to $30 (for the RS180). Tall order distortion numbers on those first two puppies are phenomenal.
I think I'll do a 4 ft line array sometime soon. Already have the RS180s, just need to get the Neo3s and build the boxes.

My other speakers
I also have a pair of Michael Green's Chameleons...sound wonderful. they might not be as "pretty" as some but they sound better. Isn't that the main objective? Michael also designed my HT when I was doing a whole house remodel. Trackmaster's post lead me to his site...here is my HT and his speakers...well they used to be his

Oh boy ! After living with Magnepan, Carver Ribbons , 3 sets 1 with custom subs and separate x over. I like a few box speakers. I never would spend the $$$ on them.
I had a few sets of DCM time windows 1 and the 3 were great for a cone driven speaker. I did like the new Wilson Watt. (They are a bit overpriced for drivers you can get over the counter) but, they did go wide and deep. Dunlevy,.. big towers were good too. Its just a amp and system match. Cones are a bit easier on the ancillary equipment and easier to set up, you are not dealing with reflections as much and bass is very easy to achieve.

I would get me a pair of KEF 107/2 and add Technics Leaf tweeters to get hte last drop of performance, i got a pair of Technics EAS-10TH400 which i have kept in my stock for such usage
Joey, that's at least the third different post you have made in this thread about which speakers you would want. That's a bad case of joeyitis when you are constantly upgrading even your hypothetical systems!
As for me, I am thinking Avant Garde Trios (with a good SET amp) or MBL 101e's (with MBL electronics). Or maybe just go ahead and get a pair of each. Yeah, that's the ticket. I've got to go now. Audiogon is calling.

Now you are talking Rich! Love it! Sign me up for the 101e's! I like my 101a's, but I would imagine the E's would be even better...probably more bass, but I have to say the A's are not bad at all! Oh, and only $52k for the E's! Heck, pocket change!
