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?

WEGG 3- a special series by William Eggleston.
My reference is Thiel.

Original Thiel or the new stuff.  To me the sound is so different that the original Thiel users probably won't love the new stuff and visa versa.  Even the Thiel dealers I know are highly disappointed by the new gear and are getting rid of the line.  One I know has had top of the line Thiel's in his personal system since the 80's and now he's getting rid of them in favor of something else.

Ctsooner, 

How does new Thiel sound different than old and what specific newer models are we talking About?

Thanks.

I'm not a Thiel guy at all.  New or old, so I'm probably not the best one to say.
