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 can still remember the first time I heard Quad ESL-57's, wow.

Rockport Altairs are the total experience nothing else comes close for me. If I only could afford them.
Wilson Grand Slam VII's
Magnepan 20.1's best $/Music
Wilson W/P 8's in my environment

I never heard the two Rockport speakers above the Altairs (my absolute favorite), but if they are better - they must be wonderful.

1. Rockport Technologies Altair (great all round)

2a. Avantegarde Duo Primo (breathless - emotional)

2b. Hansen Prince v2 (again - just how much better the Hansen's above this one)

5a. Tie: Leonard Norwitz's Audio Note System (in his place - just music)
5b. Tie: Wilson W/P 8's (IMHO in my environment and system for now - music with more dynamics when required)
