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?

Im a skeptic. I dont think that just because a speaker costs 100k it is the best. As of now the PSB Synchrony One holds my attention.

Revel Salon II second pick.

There are a lot pages to this. Which PSB's do you have now? Is it the M2? Get a demo on the Synchrony Monitor too. I was skeptical of PSB when they started making speakers in China but the Synchrony is their best yet.

I am curious what you are running them on. I was impressed with the Wilson as far as build quality and choice of drivers. I heard them on a couple different sources and it sounded like the sound was stuck inside the cabinet. Not putting your choice down. Im wondering what kind of source I need to hear these on? Thx.

At the RMAF 2013 some of the most well received were:

Vapor Nimbus
Wilson Alexia
Focal Utopia
Sonus Faber Olympica
Magico S1 (really good on Hegel integrated)
SVS towers at 2k were the bargain performers of the show.
