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 heard them where I bought my Ref 3A deCapo-i speakers. It was a large basement room that was about 17 wide and 28-30 feet long. The speakers were about 8 feet apart, 5-6 feet from the back wall, and I was probably 10-12 feet from the speakers. I haven't got enough space for them where I live, but if I did I'd have to find the money to buy them.

21' x 12.5' with heart redwood paneling purchased in 1975. Had to install about 22 lineal feet of it to enlarge the room and almost passed out at the price in 2008.
Has turned out to be a wonderful sound absorber.

Axiom 80 + Kelly Ribbons. Warning, 80 cones are fibre and hygroscopic, so break up after a few years

Has anyone ever heard the Kaiser Kawero. I heard it Rocky Mountain and it was incredible. Pretty small but over 200 lbs a piece. They filled the room with very realistic music. I saw someone from one of the mags or online sites say it was best sound at show and it sounded that way to me too. Best part is my wife thought it was beautiful. Had a modified RAAL tweeter and special wiring by Echole. I have Echole cables and they are phenomenal. Best I ever heard. That's how I found out about the speakers.
