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?

how about the DALI suite 2.8 tower speakers ???

please give me some feedbacks....thanks.
Tannoy GRFs driven by classic Marantz tubes. Sounded great on classical music...but fell apart on rock
Just got a pair of Von Schweickert VR-7SE's and after barely 80 hours of break-in, they are already something very special with my VAC tubes. Way too early for a full review - I am starting to realize why people rave about these speakers worldwide. Very impressive so far.......
in all areas of life, there is no best of anything.

there are too many variables, and some of them will be imprecisely measured, so that judgement is unreliable.

many speakers have been mentioned in this discussion.
it is therefore not possible to say what is best. the criteria used to judge vary with the person who is doing the judging.
it is a fruitless exercise. it is sufficient to like something and consider it a favorite without concern for its quality. as long as you like it, in this case the sound of a speaker, nothing else matters.

the notion of "best" is a philosophical argument which has no conclusion.
