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?

Boy, great question. I really like the B&W 801's, but I remember years ago listening to some huge McIntosh speaker set up. I mean, huge. Six foot midrange / tweeter panels per side and separate subwoofers for each channel. It was incredibly smooth, defined, and spacious sounding. Bottom end like I have never experienced before. Anyone know the speakers I am trying to describe here?

I also remembering being in love with a set of Apogee Scintilla's. Oh, and EPI 1000's were pretty nice too. This is really a tough question. Martin Logans, Maggies, Quad ESL 63s', so many to choose from.... so little time... Sonus Faber... makes a line of incredibly good albeit expensive systems. Beautiful finish.

Oh, and the Wilson WAMM.... breathtaking speaker... Hmmm could go on and on.
