So what is the best speaker you have ever owned?


I would like to know what the best speakers in any system that you have owned personally, not just listened. Specifically, what characteristics made it better than anything else? (imaging, bass, dynamic range, smoothness, size, looks, distortion, how it moves air, price, etc.)
thanks, Nita

Not much concensus, but some darn good speakers in the list. Inevitably, for most people, it is going to be the speaker you have at the moment, otherwise, why did you change it.
I have enjoyed a number of speakers listed above, Harbeth, Proac, Devore fidelity, less so some of the others. For my current set up, with a relatively low powered, Class A hybrid amp, the Daedalus Da-RMa monitors, tick all the boxes. Very fast neutral good imaging, look great etc
Von Schweikert Audio VR-4Jrs. Very musical, good with tubes or solid state. Wide sweet spot. Highs sparkle and lows are solid. Worth more than speakers that cost less, and sounds better than speakers that cost more. In my experience. But to each his own.
My current speakers built by Rich Murry of Truesoundworks. Rich built me a set of Apogees Duetta Signatures Ultimates and they just sound spectacular. They completely disappear. Best speaker I have owned.
