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?

B&W's flagship Nautilus speaker (you know, the "Racing Snails"). I wont say it's the perfect speaker, but I could not detect any flaws in the sound or the presentation.
Re: B&W Original Nautilus
BTW the MF and HF drivers on the new Vivid speakers are the culmination of the designers ideas with regards to metal domes.
Here is a little trivia,the original Nautilus was conceptulised as a 5 way, using a 16"/8"/4" dome/2"dome/1" dome.Cheers.

Sphere,
Thanks, I know next to nothing about the original Nautilus and appreciate any further info I can get. Certainly an exceptional speaker. Guess I will have to check out some Vivid speakers now.
