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 Living Voice Air Partner is without doubt the greatest of all the speakers that I have heard. The Living Voice Tone Scout is a good second and the Carfraehorn 'Big Horn' is also in the running possibly as third best. I would give a lot to own any of these!

Probably Von Schweikert VR4's. But I have Acoustat 2+2 and Ambience 1600's with REL strata 3 sub which works for me!

I am a newbie on this site and I have read some interesting threads on 'whats best', my 2cent thread is;
A good loudspeaker has simply to make the music sound like real people playing, as if they were playing in front of you. If your system has a particular 'good' listening level, then your system is flawed, a good system should sound the same (quality wise, not loudness) at whatever level the volume is set and not improve as the decibels get louder. There is no such thing as a bad recording. There are systems that can't make musical sense out of the music, beit a cd or LP.
