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?

Regarding expectations, the trap to avoid is expecting a system to make recordings sound better than they are. If you look for a system that makes everything sound perfect, you will find yourself on a never ending and costly quest to achieve the impossible and never weaning the satisfaction that most recordings in fact have to offer.

You would all be well served by heeding the words of the prophet Rumadian.

Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 5.1 Soundstage bigger than life and unbelievable detail. Listened to Bonnie Raitt and you could hear the brushes, like almost every bristle as it hit the drum. Bonnie, well there centerstage larger than life. This experience was well over ten years ago and still is with me.

Well said Rumadian, I could not agree more.
