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?

MY Audio Physic Avanti IIIs. They're substantially improved, with LOTS-better parts in the MR/treble crossover (including LARGE Teflon-film caps in series with the tweeter) and the bass filter removed and replaced by active filtering from a dbx DriveRackPA and a separate pair of Marantz monoamps driving the bass. The MR drivers now have NO hi-pass caps between them and the poweramps, while a much-smaller-than usual coupling cap in the MR/tweeter amps reduces the bass energy to the MR drivers. Excellent Audioquest speakercable is soldered to the x-over boards, and chunks of that AQ speakercable replace the inexpensive stranded cable within the cabinets. An antidiffraction pad by diffractionbegone.com around the tweeter completes the large improvements in the treble.

Best speaker ever? Certainly not. Best I've heard long-term? Absolutely.
