Back in the 70's, it beats many speakers a few notches above its price level (it was priced very inexpensive). You can google advent speakers and find a lot more about them.

Advent was a giant killer back in the 70's ＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞＞

I am too young to acknowledge this. How giant was the killer? Who was the designer?

For crying out loud, they said "SIGNIFICANT", not most popular or best sounding or whatever. It mean "significant" in the history of the audio industry.

The significance of the LS3/5A is obvious.

AR3a pretty much defined the sound of acoustic suspension speakers and was well regarded back in the 70's.

Quad ESL-57 - need I say more?

Dahlquist DQ-10 was the challenger to Quad ESL's throne.

Magnepan 1-U/1-D was the very early panel alternative to electrostatic speakers.

Infinity IRS was a revolutionary design using AMT drivers.

MBL 101E - again, need I say more.

check apogee history

http://www.apogeespeakers.com/company_history.htm

it is the schintilla not diva thats hard to drive.

"" ....the Scintilla in 1985. Scintillas were large and very difficult to drive, due to their extremely low overall impedance (1ohm, early models also configurable for 4 ohm setting) and very low sensitivity. Understandably, magazine reviewers writing for audio hobbyist publications called these speakers “amp burners.”
The Scintilla design was effectively a "one-off," as they used a single midrange unit similar (but shorter) to the one used in the Full Range, but flanked by 2 pairs of tweeter elements. I have yet to find an accurate description of the way these were wired, but assume the front and back pairs of tweeters ran out of phase with each other, effectively creating a null effect between them.""

"""How come there is no Sonus Faber speakers?"""

sonus faber not placed enough advertisements in TAS.

same as a lot of other brands.

very simple.

Mcintosh XRT2K...Awesome!

How come there is no Sonus Faber speakers?

not pure american listing as mbl is german.

rogers is british

magico although made in usa is done by jewish.

this kind of "most significant loudspeakers of all time' hasno meaning...

Apogee Diva as displayed in the USA Smithsonian Institute.

This is the speaker that makes Krell Class A amp famous.

This is an American list remember??!!

Yes, it is interesting but I think Tannoy and B&W's nautilus deserves a place

most signficant......... This is interesting enough.

jbl not significant enough, according to TAS :-)

Why not is there a JBL speaker?

TAS is biased towards US made speakers. there are many others made by british.

what was TAS's selection criteria?

i vote for ATC10

I would say B&W Matrix 801 series should be there. The original Matrix 801 are still being used by many well known studios. Many records we hear today were monitored by the spk.

Selected by TAS, do you agree? Any more you think?
