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?

As folks at ML saying "happy listenning", to me the best speaker is the one that matching to the rest of your systems. There is no "the best speakers" in this imperfect world gorvened by the imperfect laws of physics. I have owned from JVC,Fisher,Klispch,Definite Tech.,Mirage,Martin Logan, Sonus,B&W..in the past 20 years. They all have weakness and strength...Due to my recent downfall, I now own a Krell 400xi with Sony es Sacd,and a pairs of rt14 POLK..yes a low-end cheapy Polk..laugh all you want but with some old pjb-RCA (Kimber) and 8TC-speakers (Kimber)that I have left from the old systems(sold them all thru this web), Diana Krall and Shirley Horn still sound quite beautifully. TRust your own ear when spending your money. Happy listenning..

Nobody but an idiot would laugh at the enlightened and successful efforts of a seasoned audiophile such as yourself. I pity anyone who would laugh at a fellow hobbyist who has put together a satisfying system and then been kind enough to share the story of his or her success with this community. In fact, putting together such a system on a budget is even MORE impressive, at least to me, than mindlessly throwing money at a showpiece. IMO.
the best speaker is no speaker. it's ive music.

the next best is 4 original quads.
Avantgarde Duo Omega- nothing has ever effected me emotionally the way that speaker did...just be ready to hear something that doesn't sound like a speaker.
