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 I have heard are Impulse H1 horn loaded.
They play anything and everything and makes Cd's/LP's that one thought of as mere lesser sound quality sound truly wonderful. Of course pucker recordings sound incredible. Music to my ears.

IMHO, the Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage in my system with the Rowland 8( choke power supply) and the CAT signature is the best sound I have heard from a speaker. While some larger models like the Maxx 2 and Vandy 5A will go lower in the bass, their intimacy on vocals, small ensemble and acoustic instruments is not even close. ( at least in the pairs I have heard) again IMHO.

There is no such thing as a bad recording.

Oy vey. The BETTER my system gets, the more recordings I'm discovering as bad.
