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 remember going in a Bose store years ago and sitting through the demonstration using the BIG speakers on the wall. I did wonder why there were not using Bose speakers until they took the grills/shells off of the walls and exposed the cubes hiding behind.

Is it possible that the new version of the Bose 901's that are seemingly so wonderful are really just a shell around another brand speaker?
Macrojack, the topic here is about...The BEST speaker YOU ever heard. To my EARS, the latest BOSE 901's right up there "among the finest sounding speakers on the market" and that's all that matters !....
It doesn't seem to matter what the topic is as long as you can find some way to intrude upon it with your uninformative, unconvincing and unremitting Bose claims.

The 901 is a bogus design, a con, that has shown remarkable longevity in the face of common sense and common knowledge. Give it a rest.

horns versus Bose.

Battle of the century!

David versus Goliath?

Both so misunderstood by others! So under-appreciated!

Hifi and Macro, you two should be able to find some solace with each other although I doubt you'll ever come to terms on what good sound is.
