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?

Thesound, the ADAMs seem the philosophical opposites of the Feastrex. They do look like they use folded ribbon tweeters, which seems like a great chose.

I heard the flagship OSS system.Klaus Heinz the owner gave a demo to a select few. Sitting in the sweet spot, you would be hard pressed to think that such a big speaker could become so correctly proportioned on solo violin and still blow the rafters on large drum solo tracks.A masterpiece of speaker design.

for sure the best speaker out there at under $10,000
and will beat any20k loudspeaker is the New Reference 3A Grand Veena loudspeaker,Harry Pearson
of T.A.S not only gave it a golden ear award ,but also an editors choice .Reference uses their patented custom made in house midrange and -No crossover ever in the midrange
and a $1000 Murata supertweeter, you will see a lot of companys following suit.At under $8,500 an absolute gem!

Pjl2122, until I heard the Feastrex 9 inchers on Sunday, I would have to say that the Grand Veena had my vote for the best speaker at the RMAF. Of course, the Feastrexs are far more expensive. I very close rival for the Grand Veena, however, was the $2500 LSA1s.
