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 speaker i ever heard is Silverline Sinfonia.Very non-fatiguing.I am lucky enough to own a pair.
Axiom 80 + Kelly Ribbons. Warning, 80 cones are fibre and hygroscopic, so break up after a few years

Has anyone ever heard the Kaiser Kawero. I heard it Rocky Mountain and it was incredible. Pretty small but over 200 lbs a piece. They filled the room with very realistic music. I saw someone from one of the mags or online sites say it was best sound at show and it sounded that way to me too. Best part is my wife thought it was beautiful. Had a modified RAAL tweeter and special wiring by Echole. I have Echole cables and they are phenomenal. Best I ever heard. That's how I found out about the speakers.
Oris Swing BD-Design
one of the best horn speaker out there

People will rave on for ever about what they think is best and at the end of the day only YOUR ears in YOUR listening environment can decide what is best for YOU. No matter how good the recording, room and system it is still at it's very best only the illusion of the live musical event and that is all it can ever be. The simple fact that Top of the line speakers all sound so different indicates to me that there is a very long way to go technologically and acoustically as far as the ultimate speaker goes. Don't worry, be happy!
