The best speaker you ever heard?

In my opinion, the speaker is by far the most important part of the audio system. After all, it is the only part you hear. OK, the other stuff really matters a lot, but without a great speaker... No go.

I am a bit 'speaker-obsessed' I guess, and now I am wondering: What are the best speakers you have ever heard, and what made them the best?

I think that 'Luke' system proves the best bang for your buck speaker I've heard is the VMPS RM40s. (Tubes rule, Luke!)

The sound is exceptional for the money ($4K). Over $10k, the jury is still out. The Sound Lab A-1s are the best so far, but I'm going to SF next weekend for the show, so the jury is still out.

Enjoy the music.

Green Mountain Audio flat out makes everything else I have heard sound bad. I've heard a lot too. I was in the retail high end audio business for 8 years. I'm also a musician. Nothing speaks to me musically like Green Mountain Audio.
'Nuff Said.
