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?

For the real world, the Wilson Watt/Puppy 7. They better the 5s in many ways not the least of which is easier room-placment. This speaker showcases everything upstream. Loves tubes. Works well with solid state and connects you to any-type of MUSIC you love.
KLIPSCH HORNS DRIVEN BY MCINTOSH TUBE EQUIPMENT.....
YOU WILL LEAVE THE PLANET. TRY A LITTLE DIRE STRAITS, PINK FLOYD, DOOBIE BROTHERS...
Man, I say the Bowers and Wilkins (B&W N802's).
It makes my nerves tingle to the bone on a rainy California season with my GF in bed.

That sounds good, ain't it?

AG Unos beat Duos; Trios?
The best sounding speakers I have ever heard were a pair of Avantgarde Unos at the opening of Rhapsody Music & Cinema in Midtown Manhattan, known at the time as Avantgarde Music and Cinema. Their Trio setup was not even close to this, and I have heard that placement is critical for Trios. Has anyone heard both Unos and Trios in properly set up systems? I am interested to learn how they compare.
