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 second to AV Duo's since I've owned a pair drived by Audio Note Quest Silver Sign and M7 Kondo and I never want to depart them.

My AN Quests are run sweetly and magically with WE 300B, 6SN7s Telefuken 1962 and 5U4Gs Mullard 1961.

Happy Listening

Tbg - Line voltage wouldnt have an effect on sound quality since speakers draw power off of the amplifiers storage device, ie. Capacitor not line voltage unless the amplifier is over driven...or line voltage is outside of the amplifiers specs in which case it would shut down...

Kwb, all that I know is that I saw readings between 106 and 114 volts, that the amps did not shut down, and that the sound was horrible.

The Audio Acoustics Sapphire Ti-C Se. The construction is remarkable. 14 layers of resonance controlling membrane and polymers. A true transducer. No sonic character at all.
