The best speaker you ever heard?

The best, for me was the Fulton Premiers. Mssive speakers that had some unique qualities that over all have never been equalled. They had an ability to properly reproduce harmonics and dynamics without any cross distortion. Each instrument, voice, whatever stood alone with its' unique timbre, dynamics and spacial orientaion unfettered by anything else going on in the music. It also was unique in presenting a proper vertical or sizing of the source, something few others could even come close to doing. It went up and down with low distrotion and with quality transients. So what am I using now- the same speakers- 20 years later and laughing at evrthing else that comes along.
They still sound like what music reproduction is all about.

No matter the speaker you prefer, try Bybee purifiers. They seam to deal with "something" that is inherent to electric circuits that results in unnatural sound. If you can pay $10K for speakers you surely can spend $170 for a pair of purifiers. Believe me it can be an ear-opener.

I cant'elieve I am writing this. I listened to the beolab 5 today ( in the store for 2 hours). I haven't heard tha many audiophile speakers, ( 1 Dynaudio temtation for 1/2 hour, B&W Nautilis 802 for 1 hr, Matin logan Aerius for an 1 hr, Dunlavy sc6 for 2 hrs, and my own carver als3)so take this with a huge pinch of salt. These are remarkable speakers and the ones that have most affcted me. Really a wow. This was with B&o upstream components that apperared to be barely better than a flashy walkman. I was more than surprised

The bigger Quads fed from McIntosch electronics. That's beyond my means,so I got the Maggie 1.6 s.

Definitely better than the 989.
