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?

The best speakers are the ones that allow you, the listener, to enjoy the music. Everyone hears differently, and everyone's listening rooms are different, as well as what your source components are. If you have effected a synergy between your room, the source components,pre-amp and amp, and your speakers, then you have it made!
Apogee Diva's driven by Krell and Martin Logan CLSIIA's coupled with the Kinnergetics SW800 subwoofer. Sub driven by Levinson Model 23 and Audio Research SP-11 Mk2 and D250 Mk2 Servo for the CLSIIA's. Transparency, detail, speed, imaging, and power. Awesome.
I love the Vandersteen line - especially the 2ce's..but I have to say after hearing the Von Schweikerts Vr 99's - not much else compares.

Everything in the universe is relative...but for my room, my equipment, my listening ear, etc., the 802 diamonds are something special!
