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?

The ones in my rec room, the Revel Salons. I used to have a pair of Dunlavy SC-V's and prior to them the SC-IV's. The Dunlavy's were good but the Salons just do it better. The detail is better at low volume levels, there is more bass punch and the speakers image so well that they dissapear. They are power hungry though, I use to run either of the Dunalavy's with a Bryston 4B-ST and I had to go to 7B-ST monoblocks for the Salons.
I have auditioned the big Wilsons, Avantgarde, Sonus Fabers and others and none have matched the overall performance of the Salons.

ATC SCM 150ASL, I received mine about three months ago and wow they are better than the Salon, Dunlavy SC-V and SC-IV's B&W 801 and any other lesser speaeker I had before. An amazing sense of being there with no compression at volume. Awesome.
