I always thought they reached their zenith in the mid 1980s range that went 70II/700LE/707/737 Renaissance/770 Freedom/780 Argonaut. The 770F and 780A were a particular favourite of mine, and my dad lived happily with 707s for years. IMHO, the subsequent 760 - 765 may have looked similar but weren’t a patch on their predecessors.
As to their very best, it has to be the 767 - the loudspeakers that taught a young me what imaging was. I spent 20 years looking for a pair before giving up!

Not exactly relevant, but I have often wondered why all their models started with a ‘7’.
Not compared with many modern brands.Think of treble to make your ears bleed...
Can't find the answer to the 7 question but found this interesting article in my hunt.

I find myself in agreement with jez!Original white front 770's are the one! Fantastic speakers.
