The best speaker you ever heard?

But the question wasn't whether you own them or not. The question was what is the best speaker you ever heard.

The best speakers i've ever heard are still the awesome Infinity IRS-V's. I heard them back in 1991 with a pair of massive Electrocompaniet mono blocks & a reference tt and was blown away. Thunderous concert level bass, ethereal "reach out and touch it" imaging & incredible detail. They are also the most beautiful speakers i've ever seen.

I got to hear those a bunch with all different electronics. The top end for me was hot compared to most of the newer speakers, but in it's day it was very special. Man could those things rock. HUGE and needed a large large space to really open up. Pretty amazing for it's time.

Agree!!! I have a good friend with 3 awesome systems...Genesis 1.1s (basically the next generation of Infinity IRS Vs) are one of his flagship speakers (Tidal Sunrays and Marten Coltrane Supremes are his other 2!!).

Those Genesis 1.1s are a-w-e-s-o-m-e. He drives them with the best of the best that he has found...and it is a truly remarkable system.

Until today, best speakers I've heard are Vivid Audio Giya G3. Unbelievably hollographic scene and amazingly detailed sound. Out of this world.
