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?

Calvin, I've only heard the small Raidho C1's with Symaudio amps. They sounded smooth and clean, though there was some stridency in the top end (most likely due to green speakers). The D5's must sound amazing. My only gripe with Raidho is they are way over-priced for what you get as demonstrated by the huge dealer margins. I saw a pair of C2.1's on static display and thought the build quality was very average compared to Magico or YG for example.

Check them out when you can. They draw you in while still being so honest. Big change in the mk 2
Caxton Audio in Melbourne carry that line, so I might see if they're getting the Mk2's in so I can have a listen for fun. In any case, $62kUS is out of my price league & my Dealer does not carry that line.

Incidentally, the Magico S7's are also a big change from the S5's & have lighter, faster hybrid carbon Nano-Tec/Nano-Graphene drivers & a diamond-coated beryllium tweeter. The cabinets and crossover have also been significantly improved. I might have a bit of news on that front soon ;).
@melbguy1. I can agree on price issue. They did sound amazing though. I think the magico look like the have better build quality. I don't know if I will ever hear raidho with solutions again ever. Maybe at an audio show. I will love to hear the magico s 7. I like my music slightly to the fuller and darker side by a smigid without loss of detail. That raidho system gave me that in spades.
In the end, loudspeakers as with music preferences are completely subjective. You should definitely aspire to own whatever makes you happy regardless of opinions on forums. If you like your music on the fuller and darker side, you could get that sound from Magico by using PAD cables & something like a Vitus RI-100.
