The best speaker you ever heard?

Vapor Audio Cirrus Black - after being moved from home for work for the last 3 months, I finally got home this week and fell in love with them all over again. For my ears they're just the perfect balance of all the audiophile buzz words.

Doc77, aren't you more than just a Vapor speaker owner? Don't you work shows with Vapor Audio? If you are promoting at shows for them doesn't that cross the line here?

There are probably many speakers available which outperform the ARS Acoustica Celera (taken into account retail price), but I have yet to hear them. I especially like the way they disappear sonically, and the sheer clarity and directness of the portrayed musical image. Every single note appears to be amplified individually, without pulling apart the music as a whole. Sadly discontinued, but very, very high on my wanted list, and hopefully available secondhand in the main future.

JP1208:

I believe that you hit the speaker on the head. 'Ole Doc77 seems to hawk everything made of Vapor in his other posts. I've never heard them, quite probably never will. They may be a good or even a great speaker but someone who sneaks the name of equipment into forums, while representing it, should let us know. More power to him if he is a rep. or a dealer, but it seems rather small of someone to disguise himself as a forum blogging consumer. Most people would like to know if they are seeking the advice (of a rep or dealer) beforehand so they can calculate any bias that may be injected into the persons opinion.

Oh, my best speaker: I don't believe that I have heard it yet. In my younger years.... everything was the best ( even the bad), I wish that I could get that feeling now.

After owning so many ultra speakers, so much ultra-fi, I have been hesitant to say any one thing is the best. Part of it is that I have been so picky about the smallest of flaws. I end up saying "I can't say this is the best I've heard, on this particular record I wish the snare had just a little more weight....".

After a great amount of thought, the best I have ever heard is not the most expensive I have ever heard, but reminds me of real music, in many different genres, more often than any other speaker: The JBL Everest DD67000.
