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?

Oeiras99 - What does purchasing have to do with making a speaker the best you've ever heard? Their sound doesn't change simply because you didn't take them home. If they're a significant investment and you're happy with your PSBs, why change?

Mceljo. I will buy the Mementos only if they sound better in my system in a home audition than the PSBs. In that case, the Mementos will be the best I have ever heard; if not, the PSBs are still champs. Thanks for your input.

There are a lot pages to this. Which PSB's do you have now? Is it the M2? Get a demo on the Synchrony Monitor too. I was skeptical of PSB when they started making speakers in China but the Synchrony is their best yet.

PSB M2 Platinum monitors exhibit great energy, excelling in everything from acoustic jazz, female vocal, to large-scale symphony orchestra. While the Platinums are the top of the line, the other models have been well received. Canada seems to create great speakers even if some are assembled in China.

I agree with Paimei,
The PSB Synchrony One floorstander can compete with speakers mulitples of its price - its midrange is that good.
