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?

I have heard 99% of all mentioned speakers here. It is always a matter of opinion, electonics and recording but in terms of emotional involvment and pure stunning jaw dropping sound quality nothing comes close to the Legacy Whispers. I must mention that The whisper I listened to extensively were powered by the Coda 11.5 2 cahnnel amp with a wright sound tube pre.
