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?

No holds barred, Krell Modulari Duo are probably the best speakers I have ever heard. At $65,000 a pair they should be.

Back down on earth, my heart belongs to the Dunlavy SC-IV/A. They're big and ugly, despite the beautiful cherry wood finish, and they deliver more sound/$ than any other speaker I have heard. Even with their amazingly fast and powerful bass, I still supplement them with a JL Audio f112 to bolster the bottom end. Total MSRP for the set is about $12,000. That's hard to beat.

There are two or three that I've heard that would qualify however if I would have to choose one it would be the Focal JM Labs Grande Utopia. The Utopia's makes the music sound so real and natural, it literally makes you feel that you're at a live performance.

Salk HT3 is the best speaker I have ever heard or owned. Granted I have not heard a whole lot.

In the 80's a pair of Infinity IRS playing a recording of Holst's Planets. I was astounded and instantly hooked into this addiction!!
