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?

Jughead, the Summits will compete with most of the speakers referenced on this thread when properly setup and with appropriate ancillary equipment. Dale spends an inordinate amount of time on mechanical and electrical grounding schemes in his speakers, and you can hear it. He said those two elements are far more important than Gucci drivers and parts. They make most other speakers "sound like speakers" with their disembodied and ethereal sound. Its the sound of no speaker. Enjoy....

I'm having great success running a Musical Design t100 amp and the spl preamp, and a pair of REL t9 subs. I have also added a Shunyata ps8 and one of dales entry level interconnects and saving for the Mosaic speaker cable. and yeah these speakers sound like no other speaker I have ever heard every time I listen my jaw hits the floor.

Nice. It does not hurt to have Duane in your court for setup. He is the master....
