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?

VMPS RM40. VMPS' New RM Elixir is probably the best sounding speaker I have never heard-yet!
JM Labs Grande Utopia Beryllium's are the best speaker on the planet. I just returned from an audition in NY and all of the hype is warranted,they have outdone themselve once again.
Shahinian Diapason- sounds like live music - can play unstrained at live levels - motivates you to listen to all of your recordings again so you can hear how they were supposed to sound- reproduces the lowest frequencies effortlessly- motivates non- audiophiles to compliment your system- priced very reasonably
The best speaker I have heard is the Alón Exotica Grand Reference System. While it excelled in virtually every audiophile parameter, the bottom line is that it provided the most realistic presentation of recorded music I've experienced.
