The best speaker you ever heard?

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.

I have a very full time job that's not at all related to Audio. I'm just a very enthusiastic owner, 20 years of Hi-Fi merry-go-round, and now I'm off thanks to the Cirrus. And yes I have helped Vapor at a couple shows, but no favors or payment ... just happy to help, and it gives me a reason to attend the shows. I've even visited Ryan's house a couple times to hear his other creations.

If people can't share the experience of products they're excited about, what's the point of this forum? Every quality brand has their cheer squad.

Doc77, or can I just call you Ryan? What do you do for a living? I have been in the HVAC industry for 26 years in the Reno NV area. Care to share? With all the cheer leading you have done for Vapor I think the right thing to do here is to give us some more detailed background. You have zero feedback and you are not a registered user here which is very odd. Especially for someone who has been in the hobby for 20 years and has posted for years! You can only post to threads?

I have no doubt that the Cirrus is a fine speaker. But shill or not, if that's the very best you have ever heard (remember the thread title), you need to get out more often.
