Just for fun, if you could choose a single speaker to listen to mono recordings what would it be? I have electrostatic (Quad ESL 57) and horn (Tannoy Monitor GOLD 15"). :scratch: Remember its for fun.

When you say horn for the Tannoy which cabinet is that? I think that would probably be my preference.

Although I don't like horn-loaded speakers that much, I would have thought a Tannoy GRF might be appropriate.

Otherwise a single, very early version of the Quad electrostatic speaker (SN < 400, before the speaker's directivity was changed for stereo presentation).

Good choice Barry! I would imagine trying to find a SN<400 would be a very tall order. I'll post a picture later of what I'm using at the moment.
