My vote goes to:

1. Barefoot MM27
2. K+H O300 (i own these)
3. Focal Twin 6BE

Don't know about the SM8 or SM11 but i guess you can't go wrong with those either!

I dont even need a top 5. Hands down Barefoot MM27's. Talk about an excellent listening experience with remarkable translation. However I do keep hearing amazing things about those Focals. I'd love to hear a pair.

I feel bad saying this as my Dyn's stare me in the face. I'm sorry BM15's. I guess Ill go mix on you now

Anyone got a pair of Dynaudio M3P far fields ? I picked up a pair too cheap to turn down. I have to re-cone them but otherwise they're in great shape. It'll be a while before I get them up so curious to know any thoughts ?

EDIT-Sorry, I should really use the search function some more !! Sometimes, I forget that almost everything has been said and done before !

Maybe some of it is the adams, I have 2.5sa's..

But I think I won't ever get a main pair again without folded ribbon tweeters.
