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?

top of the line audio note anj/spx powered by the ongaku is the best I've ever heard. A highly modified original B/W 801 would be a nice thing to have, too; eliminates need for a sub.

update...best I've heard is the Magico five way hybrid speakers which require external crossovers and ten channels of amplification. Four 3 Dimension Audio SET and one push/pull (on the 86db woofer) 300b interstage coupled amp with custom tubed active crossovers powered the speakers.

Simply the best and the closest to the type of sound I have heard so many times at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

They do require a bit of saving for, though.......
