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?

Magneplaner 20.1...A very difficult and subjective question...my experience was when I was in an adjacent room when I thought there was a piano player at the keyboard....what I was hearing was a pair of Magneplaner 20.1s biamped with a pair of ARC Ref 300 and a VT100MK III. The source was an LP on a Clearaudio Turntable ?? ..can't tell you the cartridge or arm or cables....but when I thought there was an actual piano playing instead of recorded music, that was the critical mass info I needed.
The LP was a Mercury Living Presence solo pianist recording of Pictures at an Exhibition
