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?

NHT 3.3. I wish I had written down the amp that was
powering it.

I am not a long time audiophile so I haven't listened
to a lot, but my next speaker purchase will be a set
of 3.3's, without a doubt.

It's got to be the old JBL Paragon horn speaker from 1960. Incredible warmth and balance. Now very rare. Anyone else familiar with these?
