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?

I have heard the Infinity IRS---as well as their original Servo-Static I and RS-1b (which I for a time owned), Wilson WAMM, current big Wilsons (don’t know that model, but they retail for around $200,000, I believe), single and stacked Quads (my own), Magnepan 30.7 (and the earlier Tympani T-IVa, upon which the 30.7 is based. I currently own a pair), all the Acoustats, Jadis horns, Altec Voice Of The Theater, Marten Coltrane, all the Martin Logans, big SoundLabs, Vandersteen Model 5, and others that don’t come to mind at this moment.

But if I was to go out and buy a pair now, the Sanders ESL would be at the top of my list. I’ve heard them twice, and LOVED ’em!

I would love to hear Vienna acoustics 'the music'. Big wilsons in big rooms sound amazing, the raidho d1.2 in the right room but for the cost of the wilsons you could follow your favorite musicians around the world for years so. meh

No Bill Clinton fan here at all. But I think most any sane person would welcome him back with open arms when viewed in the current climate..........
