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?

Mejames: Thanks for mentioning the Mirages, it's been at least 5 or 6 years since I heard them but they impressed me at the time. I'd like to hear the Dunlaveys and some of the other big names. Anyone else ever heard the Shahinian Diapasons?
My Sharp boombox makes my Britney Spears CD sound so real , that I could almost feel her breasts.
Besides, live, unamplified acoustic concerts that I attend I would have to say The Wilson WAMM with Halcro was incredible,

The Von Schweikert VR-4 with BAT was also stunning !
