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?

I ask, how do they do that? And what do they do?
Just wondering.

Bob, if I tell you I'd have to shoot you ... just kidding. To be honest their exact complete physical/psychological workings are beyond my tiny brain. But like any audiophile I try and make up my own opinion by trying them out. And I didn't just try them out, researched their origins, and try and comphrehend its technical aspects, I also heard other's experiences and opinions, heard them in other rooms. Extensive a/b testing etc.

These things really work, and are especially welcome to audiophiles whose main living room is the actual room where the system resides. No big bass traps, panels etc. therefore a high WAF.

You can start by reading the 6moons.com series of reviews. These are as unbiased a group of audiophiles that exists.
Hi Mtkhl567, Thanks for your answer, I will do a little research myself.

Thanks,
Bob
Talking my book right now, but after going to a couple of audio shops in the last week, I think my Maggie 3.6R's are the best speakers I have ever heard. I am loving my set up right now. I'm not even thinking of changing anything out! Wow, I need a new hobby, bummer.
