The best speaker you ever heard?

Totem Hawks...in the presence of music being played...they haunt you and demand you listen as much and as long as you can!!! Truly soul stirring, more than I can say about my Watt/Puppy 6's, 801N's, Dunlavy V's, ML Prodigy's or Magnapan 3.6's! The Winds and the Forest are equally special in unique ways. Magic be made here..dare ye try them?

Many years ago , I first heard then began to build the kits which Bud Fried offered to hobbyists , they were far too $ for me factory made .
One could 'tweak' these and I did in the building of over 100 enclosures ,(many boxes went to dealers unstuffed , and I stuffed some too), I've had 4 sets in 25 years (retrofit).
I tryed many different capacitors , inductors , resistors , wire . The basic - just as Bud sent - set sounded real good . But , fully tweaked , these Transmission Line Subwoofer/Satellite full range systems sound to me more like real unamplified instruments sound . And the effortless reach down low is a great plus .

Probably the Von Schweikert VR-11 or VR-9 (I own the VR-9). The VR-11s have the slight edge in scale and ease of presentation, by virtue of their much bigger size, but they need a lot of space to really sound their best. The 9s, though, were better in imaging, intimacy, and overall user friendliness and flexibility. Either way, the two are the best speakers I've ever heard, and I've owned the Kharma Midi Exquisites and heard many more elite speakers, including the Alon Exotica Grand Reference, Kharma Exquisite 1Ds, and various Avalons. They VSAs just don't exhibit any real weaknesses.

Hands down JBL K2. Used to think it was a toss up with the B/W 801 and Infinity Beta. Then I heard the K2's. Damm!!!

I just heard the ne B&W N802D's with Mcintosh seperates...holy f--kin sh-t!!!
