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?

I spent a year trying speakers. I compared Wilson Watt/Puppy, WAMM, Grand Slam, JMlab Grand Utopia, B&W original Nautilus, Goldmund Apologue, Goldmund Epilog, Apogee Diva, ATC 100 passive and active, Faber Extrema.
At that time the Goldmund Epilog had the most accurate timbre, was fast and did not boom. I really wanted the Nautilus but saved up for Epilogs and have not regretted it for a moment. I have heard horns that are a touch more dynamic but coloured. Otherwise I still haven't heard better, they are still available...
