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?

The revel salon2 was the best sounding system I heard til I bought them and brought them home. now I disagree with the OP and while speakers are important all the pieces of the puzzle have to fit in a hi rez system for it to be musical.

Dead on Steve.  This is why they call it a system.  Synergy is important. Find a speaker you seem to love in your price range and then match the components.  Too may folks just buy and sell speakers and then trash them or wax poetic.  JMHO

Kraco 6x9, 2 ways.  It's all in the cables. I used lamp wire for one and a $42,000 solid core meteorite sourced ore with penguin foreskin insulation on the other.  My Fiero never sounded so good!

Bingo Steve.  Currently, the "best" speaker I have owned/heard is the Trenner & Friedl RA fronted by a Traumatic 300B amp.
