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?

Five years have past since I have posted on this thread. Sampled the wares in Vegas-The Show again. I still have not heard anything that comes close to MBL. Magico has perhaps closed the gap but MBL is playing in a different league as we speak. They can bring a concert to you at will.
I recently got the chance to get an old pair of mgIIa. They needed wire replacement for one tweeter and re-glue the loops. I fixed them and I power them with bridged nad3300 and nad2100. To me the sound is awesome and power ample. Some may argue about adding a sub. I find bass as being extremely tight and pure and probably as realistic as possible. Adding a sub may add some appeal but I feel that it would be further from the truth. Thanks,
MBL is at the pinnacle of sound reproduction right now. The cost of admission is ridiculous though. that said,I have to agree with Tom_hakins- YG acoustics is a game changer for us humble audiophiles.
LOOK AT THE REPLIES !!!

The title should be : The best speakers you have ever seen "

Most are focusing on looks rather than sounds.
