I’ve been lucky enough to get to listen to quite a few different speakers and brands lately at a couple of local hi-fi shops, and I have a question for all of the audiophiles in this subreddit. What speaker has the best soundstage that you have ever heard?
Depends on what you want. Some have a big soundstage but it won’t be razor etched pinpoint. Some have a pinpoint soundstage but it’ll be moderately sized.
Older klipsch (I.e LaScala or Cornwalls or even fortes) will have a nice balance of big but detailed. They add to it by sounding properly live and surprisingly smooth.
Any modern meta kef will be very precise but nowhere near as vast or live as big horns.
Personally, I’ve owned ls50 metas and some great single driver setups and classic 2 way designs. Then I heard old klipsch with 15” drivers and never looked back. Now I have forte IIs, kp301s (bigger chorus essentially) and LaScalas. No they’re not going to measure flat, but man they are special and do things no other speakers do.
Go listen, it’s all you can do really. Hope that provides a little insight, everyone has their own “ideal” in this hobby.
