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?

Without any doubt Quadral Titan Transmission Line 130KG each 15inch bass 4 or 5in mid and ribbon tweeter FLAT down TO 19Hz. I run Tannoy Canterbury SE 15s and I was jealous after hearing these! Superb on classical as they are on techno or trance. I will not forget them in a hurry. Have listened to Acoustat, Quad ESL, Apogee ribbons Ambiance ribbons, Klipschorns, Linn Isobariks Vaf ETC these Quadrals top them all

People will rave on for ever about what they think is best and at the end of the day only YOUR ears in YOUR listening environment can decide what is best for YOU. No matter how good the recording, room and system it is still at it's very best only the illusion of the live musical event and that is all it can ever be. The simple fact that Top of the line speakers all sound so different indicates to me that there is a very long way to go technologically and acoustically as far as the ultimate speaker goes. Don't worry, be happy!
