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?

Hifisoundguy, I first heard the Bose 901s in late 1968, I think right after they were introduced. My dealer said that I would want to trade my Advents in. I listened briefly and he asked if I wanted to trade. I said absolutely not. I said they bounce sound all over but sound nothing like a real performance. About six months later, he stopped carrying them.

Say, being new here, I have a question. Has Hi Fi Sound guy had a history of making fun of everyone here and Audiogon with Bose post and capitalized "mod" comments?

Transaudio, everybody has different tastes and they will never be a speaker made that will please everyone.

I have heard a lot speakers in my time and they still have not perfected the "Tweeters" yet !..


If you don't get the highs right it does not matter how good the midrange or bottom end sounds because it will just not sound right.. period !...

Hifisoundguy, and there will never be any agreement as whether you are right about this. I think not.
