The best speaker you ever heard?

Genesis 201's are it. These big speakers literally disappear as sources. They throw the widest stage I ever heard images totally outside the edges of speakers. The wall behind the speakers and side walls disappear with these speakers like no others I have heard before. The speakers are very quick on transients and never sound stressed even when playing extremely demanding pieces with very complex arrangements all the different parts remaining distinctly separate from each other. The bass is absolutely unbelievable when the recording asks for it to be. The air in my 20x23 room actually shuddered along with the entire structure of the room like their was an earthquake happening. Very defined and quick also. I thought I owned excellent subwoofers before but these are in a different league.

If choosing tubes, go for the DB100'S.
VR5 HSE are also out of this world.

Albert Von Schweikert has a dedication to produce the most relaistic soundstage you will ever hear. If this question can be interpreted to read, 'What is the most revealing and realistic speaker', then it's VSR all the way.

However, depending on what people listen to and how 'coloured' they like their sound, this will always be a subject open to further interpretation.

I have owned Apogee Mini Grands for years. I have tried many speakers, all highly regarded. None, have been able to replace the Apogee. There is a certain addicting quality to their sound. Turn the lights off, put on a good female recording, and the rest is history!
