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

first is defintiely my current Magnepan 3.6R's, next would be Klipschorns. I'm actually building a new house, and the Maggies will make the trip and take up residence in a media room with a new external crossover, biamped finally in much the same system I now have.

For the main family/great room, I had it designed with 2 enclosed corners for a reason the wife did not figure out! Klipschorns will go there, along with a Cary SLI80 F-1 Signature I procured. So I will own both my favorites again. Very different sounds, but I like them both. Now I just need to find another very good B & O Beogram 8002 for the family room system.

If cd's sound like analog, I'd say that speaker sucks.

Big time.
