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?

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?
Davidbigeye, they excite my passion for the music every time I fire up my system. What does the rest of your system consist of?
Speakers I have auditioned in the last 3 years trying to decide what to upgrade to & Feel rate a best speaker I've heard tag.
MBL 111 & 116
JM labs Grand Utopia
Dynaudio Evidence Master & Temptation
Revel Ultma Salon 2
Evolution Acoustics MM2 & 3
Wilson Watt Puppy 8 , Grand Slam
Green Mountian Calypso
Aerial 20T
Martin Logans , B&W'S, Tyler, Salks, Sonas Faber & ECT.ECT.
To many to lists.
While all these speakers were quite good ,some better than others ,& some just plain outstanding. I tried to judge them
at their different price points too.
For me , the very best I've heard were the Evolution Acoustics MM3's , they seem to just do everything right & BETTER.
After Driving & Flying to many a store & homes auditioning. I'm glad my search is over & I'm awaiting delivery of the MM'3 Evolution Acoustics. They can't come soon enough.
They belong in the class of the best I've ever heard.
Thanks to Cincy Bob & Jonathan for allowing me to experience these awsome speakers.
