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?

Sonus Faber Elipsa, all the better for being driven only by a McIntosh integrated, and a McIntosh CD player.
Former benchmark was the Vandersteen 5, with VTL amp & preamp & a Levinson player (Audio Concepts in Houston, RIP)
Recently heard the 2nd generation B&W 802 diamond with McIntosh 601 monos; very nice. Heard Cremonas in same room at same time, Diamonds very impressive.
My Thiel CS5's, connected to a Krell FPB 300 via Threshold FET 10 e & PS Audio Lambda, ain't too shabby, for a twenty year old system!
AudioAeros, at Audio Concepts, were very impressive as well, come to think of it...
