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 heard these at the Stereophile show in 2005.
These speakers were amazing.
They use ScanSpeak's ring radiator tweeter.
A 5 inch midbase by Skanning and 2 9 inch Skanning woofers.
They sounded sweet and holographic with a perfect bass response.

Many years ago I had the opportunity to listen to the infinity reference standard system and they totally blew me away. I've gone to the shows and heard alot of great speakers but my mind always goes back...
