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?

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.

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.
