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?

Bose 901s ?
Well I should hope they could get it right after 41 years of trying (maybe longer).

"I think Bose got it "RIGHT" with their latest 901 series 6 version 2's this time around!"

I've heard A LOT about the new 901s lately...mostly from you ;)

Does bose still use "construction" paper tweeters? Now thats quality to be proud of.

Honestly, after hearing bose, Im just shocked they sound as good as they do with the horrible build quality, and cheap drivers. Until that gets fixed, I cant even take them serious.

The Bose 901 is a failed concept. Hifisoundguy cannot change that with his incessant intrusions. The speaker is a "line disarray" which succeeded well in print before most of us knew anything. As we learned more about speaker designs, the absurdity of the Bose 901 assertions became apparent.
