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?

IMHO, the Nova Utopia Be are the best around. Expensive at 37000 USD ! But incredibly refined... Capable of very deep bass and very accurate medium. Exquisite treeble. My prefered speaker to date... Don't you agree ?
That is easy.The best speakers I ever heard are my ears.I think I will keep them forever.
The Martin Speakers USA Transflex 4050 (an improved transmission line) with two 11" Woofer, 5" curvilinear midrange, 1' dome tweeter, had Rec. Amp 100-300W it was 52" tall and 12' wide was capable of well defined sound pressure levels of up to 120 db and was designed for concert level listening. Low frequency to 28HZ. This was my personal choice of the best speaker I have ever heard, I should have saved a pair!
