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 Big Corner Klipschorns. I listened to a pair at a local salon here in Detroit that was driving them with an Ampeg reel to reel playing a very large tape with "Dark Side of the Moon" on it. I will never forget the visceral effect that listening had on me and most especially the intro heartbeat... Nothing since has had that same effect on me and I've listened to a lot of systems.

It would be wonderful to run into something new that could go beyond that time and that's why I keep listening every possible chance...
