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?

Jsquattrin... I did not like these latest bose 901's at all the way bose recommended setup !.. You also have to use really GOOD interconnects and speaker cables with these 901's too, like the Crimson Musiclink cables ! Also, these speakers sound like sh*t with the bose stands, I got the best sound out of these 901's by putting them on top of some plastic milk crates about 12 inches off the floor and with the 901's tilted up a little bit by two large wagner anti-vibration pads under each speaker and with the 901's turned around backwards with most of the speaker drivers facing me ! They also sound their best in a large room with nothing around them !.. I also have my bose equalizer hook up between my source and my amazingly good Yamaha a-s2000 integrated amp that is also a really good match with these latest 901's too ! I also using some world class ac outlets in my system, "Maestro ac outlets" !! To my ears,everything in my system are "Giant Killers" !!
There are some who would insist that only Magico can be the best and that we are all delusional.
this is a difficult question to answer, because it depends upon the amp-speaker interaction.

i would say the best driver type is a ribbon, electrostat or planar magnetic.
Jas Audio Plato. They just bring a lot of energy in to the music, and give the sound a bit of nerve. Well it took only one demo, and a week later a brand new set where shipped to my home.
