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?

Watson Labs Model 10. Auditioned in latter 1970's. A visually striking very large speaker. Tweeter and mids set in a separate enclosure atop a large bass unit with two drivers.

Sound: room filling, accurate, large sound stage, tight bass. WOW. Should have bought a pair, but $ too much for my budget. I may have dodged a bit of a bullett though as the tweeter/mid-section had some gas filled chambers that over time likely would have leaked. Oh well. I was happy with Dan D'Agostino's satellite/sub speakers. First ever in the US at the time. Still have them, but they take a backseat to my 1986 Thiel CS2's.
