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?

Has anyone compiled the statistics from this thread yet? If not, would anyone like me to do it? Just a simple table listing the number of votes as favorite speaker as well as the number of times a speaker was mentioned.

Understood completely. Thanks for the clarification. And I will also clarify something just in case it needs clarifying ...

A gathering of data is just that, but with some bit of organization to allow for greater accessibility. In this case orders of magnitude greater accessibility. If one wishes to analyse such data they can then do so much more easily, but any gathering of data such as I proposed would be without analyses, hypotheses, assumptions or judgements related to a consensus. Just organized data.

"Hazyj, I don't expect consensus on anything much less speakers. I certainly have no interest in what is most often mentioned or liked by most.consensus."

Clearly the question wasn't meant for you then. Why even waste time answering?
