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?

People will rave on for ever about what they think is best and at the end of the day only YOUR ears in YOUR listening environment can decide what is best for YOU. No matter how good the recording, room and system it is still at it's very best only the illusion of the live musical event and that is all it can ever be. The simple fact that Top of the line speakers all sound so different indicates to me that there is a very long way to go technologically and acoustically as far as the ultimate speaker goes. Don't worry, be happy!
I agree with every word. Well spoken, thanks!
Nice system by the way, I see, like me, you have not followed trodden paths!
Cheers and happy listening,
The Von Schwiekerts I heard were heavenly. If you are on a tight budget,the amp is the most important.
