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?

The Best speakers I ever heard are : Sonus Faber Stradivari with Lavardin MAP (only 50W!) or Lamm M1.1, and Mark Levison 390S.

In my opinion, same speakers with Theta Digital Enterprise work poorly.
I just heard the custom monitoring system at Focus Recordings in Denmark designed by Ole Lund Christensen, and came to the conclusion that all other hi-fi stuff I have experienced earlier, were mere toys compared to this setup.
