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?

Pretty much every speaker anyones owned or heard is on the list! Balance is the key to musicality...not any one or two aspects of a design.
Krell LAT-1000. I'm still breaking mine in and they are wonderful in every sense!
The LAT-1000's are precisely what I'm talking about...they are balanced and musical! My Resolution 2's are cut from the same cloth.
Yes Dave_b, they surely are balanced and musical. Also powerful and yet dainty when called upon to be such. I havn't heard the Resolution 2, but I have heard the Resolution 1 and they were teriffic too, so I don't doubt that yours are wonderfully musical. The cloth sure is good, isn't it?
