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?

Right now, my Thiel CS2.4 are really making some wonderful music... Best I ever heard, well maybe not, but by far good enough to forget about that.

It has always surprised me that the DeVores don't get more attention.

Hey. Any of you heard of John Fuselier? He made many different speaker configurations. One of them was called the Model 9, and Fat Julian told me he made less than 10 pairs. I listened to Julian's pair in his shop in Roswell, GA in the early 80's, and bought them on the spot. Still have them. Amazing imaging.

Altec Model 19's powered by a powerful Marantz Tube Amp. Amazing at all sound levels and with any kind of music you want to throw at it.

Venture speakers. ANY venture speakers. Why? Smooth, detailed, dynamic, allow the the finest electronics to strut their stuff. And most importantly, they allow an emotional connection AND and analytical connection to happen. Pure music with Venture speakers and S.O.T.A. electronics.
