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?

55dok, I may be mistaken but only some of the Dayton Wright XG-10 Mk IIs have leaf tweeters. That's what mine are. They have the XIM-11 interface module which I think is what you are referring to as well - it puts out 15 kV bias voltage instead of the XIM-10's 9 kV, raising sensitivity by 4 to 5 dB.

Alec124c41, you're the first person I've run into also with Watson Labs Model 10s. Excellent in their day but no match for more modern speakers. The Dayton Wright XW-10 subwoofers for the XG-10 ESLs (also own this combo) are virtually identical to the WL Model 10 bass modules, incidentally. One of these days it might be interesting to fire up both sets of speakers and make comparisons.
