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?

Please ..!..the weeter must be AUDAX TW025a8 (4ohms) anly if you have changed the Xover.i am certain you won ´t regret it.
I don't have much respect for Talon, who I believe was bought out by Rives. I heard a couple of their speakers, and despite their claims of unique exotic venting etc., I found them dynamically dead, and average at best. In addition to that, I really disliked the way they doubled the price of their speakers as soon as they became flavor-of-the-month. Any speaker that needs as much tweeking as you describe has a problem. As I remember, there were always plenty of used ones for sale as well. I also recall them having a problem with peeling veneers.
Roxy54..!..i am trying to help anyone who already has talon khorus and did the upgrade and is not satisfide with the Sound and i doń´t think it´s your case.
Roxy54..!..As far as i am concerned i am suite vert happy with my talon as never before.
