Best sound quality ever..........
Discussion
I spent two weeks at mission on a work experience placement... I was a real hifi nerd then and catalogued their entire spare parts list in under a week 😄 anyway whilst I was there I auditioned a set of pilastros with musical fidelity electronics and the results were spectacular.
The pilastros were sealed but had numerous passive radiators installed which was interesting.
I personally prefer sealed speakers myself and still undecided on the ribbon tweeter thing....
I've also never been a huge valve fan myself, but I suspect this is a generation thing.

This, by a country mile. No other media comes close.

Coupled with a low powered headphone valve amp.

Agreed - I spent many hours in listening rooms to find my speakers. At a realistic price point, I couldn't find anything to beat a set of Martin Logan electrostatic hybrids. I've had them over 10 years now - I've yet to find anything that comes close in terms of clarity and responsiveness, apart from newer electrostatics. The only downside is that you need a fairly heavyweight power amp to drive them. Their impedance curve on mine is nasty, dipping as low as 1.1Ohm at certain frequencies.
