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?

Well for the money I believe the Chapman T-7 speaker blows away anything in its range....and I have been enjoying its ability to play ANY style or type of music. I like the sound not the gadgets that get in the way of the sound....simple is best.
The ones i own : USHER AUDIO BE-10.
The DMD tweeter is the best tweeter ever made.
The Beryllium driver is holographic and emotional
The Eton bass driver is tight, controlled, and abyssal

The BE-10 is the most natural speaker i ever auditioned...
ATC SCM100 active
Tannoy Westminister Royal
TAD Compact Reference

Top three speakers I have heard. All are different but all of them takes the listener so close to the music recorded it is just not quantifiable.
I have heard the ATC SCM 100 on 2 occasions, and it really is a destination speaker. Of course, it goes without saying that there are many others.
