The best speaker you ever heard?

I second Albert's vote for Soundlab U1. (quite a few years ago- this thread is so old)

I heard them a number of times at a friends house, and he really didn't even have a large enough room to them breath.

I had Crosby Quad ESL-63's at the time, with SS amp from Spectral and older Atmashere MA1's, which was obviously fantastic.

If I ever had a house or a huge apartment (I won't have either since I live in Manhattan) and the budget, I would not hesitage in buying the u1- or even a smaller Soundlab. Too bad they are never at any shows, and there are few dealers around.

My second choice is the MBL 101 (or whatever is their top of the line speaker) I've heard it at many shows, it it seems to have gotten even better in the last couple of years.

I am about to embark on getting some Cerious Technologies speakers, after I evaluate thier ceramic cables. Seems they are really cutting edge, and have gotten excellent reviews (mentions actually) here.

Deadly,

Did you actually get to hear these, and if so can you comment some more.
I am really strongly leaning towards them. I talked with a recent purchaser (Bill Powell) who commented briefly about the speakers, but he is probably in listening heaven and not posting comments.

I may have posted this before, but the largest Sunny Cable horn literally blew me away, but that company is in transition to a new entity, and the speakers are the size of closets, so not very practical.

I have heard the latest Scaena 3.2 and thought they did everything extremely well, with tons of detail at even low level playback, without any etch or fatigue.

Anyone else have opinions on the very latest Scaena's? They are much improved over the earlier versions I heard.
