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?

HQD, the hartley-quad decca set-up Mark Levinson put together, many years ago at Lyric in New York.

Yes,I heard the HQD at Lyric,and at a lucky friend's home,back then!Superb,BUT....

Though some may question my taste,or opinion,this weekend I had the GREAT pleasure of hearing a "highly modded" and tuned to the "N'th" degree set up which consisted of modded Infinity RS-1b's,CJ ART,Lyra Titan-i,etc componentry...

The subject of "BEST" must be in context of room/system/owner's skills.

This system was absolutely amazing,and we played incredible LP's ranging from string quartets to orchestral,to jazz.

You name it,"this" set-up did it,to the maxx!!

This system belongs to the GREAT SID MARKS,of TAS fame!!

A "classic gentleman",and connoseur of great music/sound,on the "best" lp's!!...

The guy IS a legend,and has proven it on countless times,but......I was unprepared for this level of improvement in his always superb/full range/dynamic set-up!!

AMAZING,and I was lucky to experience it!!!

Best to all!
