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?

Interesting comments regarding Quads.

I have a pair of ESL57 refurbished by Wayne Piquet, and they are truly stunning. More than enough bass to satisfy my love of Jazz, Classical, etc. Even Prince sounds majestic through these. The realism of vocals, and acoustic instruments are beyond reproach.

And yes, they do create a very realistic soundstage, disappearing on many good recordings. Also have a pair of Dynaudio C1 sig, and Proac 2.5. My Quads stand up to both quite well. More forgiving of poor recordings, and can listen for hours without fatigue.
