I've heard many great speakers including numerous ones I've purchased. However, what I personally find affects the overall sound of a high end system the most is the quality of the recording. Yes, you can use the same media and easily perceive differences between brands of speakers. However a great mastered recording can make even a meager system sound quite good and a great system sound incredible.
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?
