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 new Diablo Utopia (Utopia III line) is certainly the best stand mounted 2-way I have heard.

Tidal Contriva Diacera SE for large to medium rooms, followed closely by the Tidal Piano Cera for small to medium sized rooms.

Easy to answer now that I have had them for a few weeks, the new Tidal Piano Cera with my Gill Alana linestage, Einstein LITD hybrid power amp, Reimyo CDP, Stage III cabling and Running Springs PLC. Rather than trumpet the virtues of this extraordinary piece, I recommend reading Jason's Stereophile report on the Axpona show about the Tidal system. I would have to say that more than anything, it was the sound of the Tidal that he was hearing.

I agree with Calloway, gave up looking for anything better when I acquired Tidal Audio's Piano Diacera.
