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?

Dynaudio Sapphire. Doesn't matter who says I swear by the Dyns although this particular one is not as costly as some of the names mentioned here. Unfortunately, my pockets aren't deep enough to go beyond that. I am sure the Evidence Master would sound much better but that's all there is (quoting Dynaudio's tag line). I used to build DIY speakers or do speaker mods and what I found is that some of those astronomically-priced speaker manufactures actually uses OEM Dynaudio drives. I am not going to mention names since it might piss some people off.
About the Dynaudio Sapphires, if you don't mind.
I love the Dynaudio sound but I have to sit 8 feet from my speakers (they are on the long wall of my 20 x 13 foot room).
I had Aerial 10Ts & Wilson WP6s right here & they were fine. So do you think the Sapphires would fit here?
I consider the Dynaudio line in general to be a gold standard in speaker design and sound, even if not necessarily the most unique or distinctive sound out there.
The new Vandersteen 7's. Too expensive for me now, so I had to settle on Maggie 3.7's. They may be better except for low end.
