The best speaker you ever heard?

I have always enjoyed the effortless power of Fried's G3, and Ohm Acoustic's Walsh 5000. Their dynamic presentation they put forth in such a matter of fact, non-intimidated way reminded me of the Snell Type A also. Ballsy command and authority, or supple gentleness, whatever your pleasure, these masters of sonics have always been my all time favorites. I'll never forget the privilege I had listening to them.

Doug99: The Celera sounds just smaller than System Max, but with the same ease of portraying music. I remember the dealer using only the top part of System Max as a full range speaker, and I guess the Celera comes very close to that. Obviously, System Max could not be bettered in the bass department, but the Celera certainly has quite the propelling energy of it's larger brother.
