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?

Wow...just read that article on Top 25 speakers...Wilson came out on top big time. Maxx 3, Alexandria and Sasha's all in the top 5.

I will say, all are excellent, and i think the Alexandria 2s are stunning.

Lloyd, on a serious note, I try to take Audio reviews and surveys like this with a grain of salt. Generally, I don't get involved with threads like this.

The speakers that made the top 25 are all fine speakers. But when I see that other top performers like Vandys did not make the list (actually #26), . . . well one can only wonder???? OTOH, I was somewhat tickled to see that my Paradigm S8s made #7, especially since they cost a fraction of what most of the other top performers cost.

FWIW, take it with a smile. :-))

Hi Bifwynne,

Agree...and there are loads of speakers out there we could all name that are "better" than the "25" that made the list. I actually only commenting on how well Wilson did. I do like the 3 speakers named, particularly the Alexandria. I have not heard anything i prefer, though i am curious about the Rockport Arrakis and the Genesis Statement which i have heard are stunning.
