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?

This past weekend I had the privilege of listening to the finest speaker of all time. Micro dynamics, prosaic transients and sublime transparency that no other speaker can touch. The Dexter 6000R is by far the greatest man has ever produced. At $1,600,000 it's an absolute bargain. I was so blown away by the fidelity and sonic boom that I took delivery of two pair. Chim Richaldson of Dexter Audio personally set-up one of the systems in my master bathroom. The 6000R is the cure!
You wouldn't be funnin' us, would ya, Dawgbyte? We have "Dawgs" here in Northern Ohio that wander in from the hills during football season. The team, especially management and coaches, as you've probably noticed, is persistently sad-sack. The colors of "rustbelt" seem to fit.
Appogee Diva's: hearing things that left you incredulous and god smacked: we would laugh because all of that sound was coming from a piece of plastic with a diamond running through it!
Bose? Really? Take it apart and see what you paid for. Gimmicky gadgets. It will never be a speaker audiophiles can take seriously. Hype is what you paid for. Simply put you can't polish a turd. I bet you run them with the Carver cube amps from the 1980's because they sold on hype and were such crap as well. Can you bi-wire them? Try lamp cord because all that fancy wire is just a waste of money too.
