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?

The best sound I've heard was from a dealer system in Plano, TX featuring JMlab Grande Utopia speakers driven by Levinson and Wadia electronics. This would have been in the late 90's I believe. I haven't heard any uber exotic systems lately so that earlier experience stands as my best ever.
@ 68pete, I've read that some B&W insiders themselves still claim that the Matrix 800 flagship model still stands as the best speaker that B&W have ever produced. I've never had the opportunity to audition that model but it must sound superb.
