The best speaker you ever heard?

Check out my review of the HD220 on A'gon! It has turned into one of the finest amplifiers ever to grace any of my systems. Words can hardly describe how happy I am with my purchase..it is reference caliber sound for sure!! The HD220 controls my Res 2's with great finesse....kick ass dynamic, full of life and detail with no grain or strain. It re-creates the event of a live performance like few other amps can...phenomenal with my Ref 3. For power cable specifics see the review or call Dave @ 610-399-1398.

i haven't heard a lot of the contenders, and my own exp with the below was extremely limited but my god the Magic Model 6s were phenomenal when I had spent an hr with them: driven by all Audio Rsch Ref gear set up. Needs a big room though. But holy cow.

Apogees - I have 2 pairs in Storage (waiting for a better room) I have a space made for it along with the grave,nothing out there like it ever.

Proac D38. Or other Proac models (D25, Studio 140) depending on your budget. Very very musical speakers. Makes you want to listen to music.

Since this thread is still going strong, will chime in from my recent discovery.

Usher BE10/20, incredible reproduction of minute details and leading edge dynamic that are hidden in most speakers. Superb integration of tweeter and midrange due to similar material used (Beryllium) and close proximity physically. Able to play loud despite only having one tweeter and one midrange per speaker, this has the advantage of reproducing more focus sound unlike those multi tweeter/midrange speakers. Excellent bass, beautiful craftsmanship, and sexy real wood cabinet.

I also like Analysis Omega (superb transparency and coherence like Apogee), Elac top of the line model (excellent top to bottom, though a little soft), and MBL101E but not with MBL amps which produce too much bass output.
