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?

I never shared the general disdain of other Audiopiles towards 901's.
I heard a pr once that was turned backwards so most drivers were pointed toward you and the single driver to wall  that sounded good .
I think they  have had some other slight mod but I disremeber what .
I had a Bose System in Nissan Maxima that used 901 drivers, sounded damn good .

Just wondering, could the slight mod have been that the speakers were not attached to the cables?

Magico Q5's,

I didn't buy them I decided to wait and look elsewhere.
Bought a pair of Tekton Di's and couldn't be happier.

The Quatro's arrived and are breaking in nicely.  Loving the sound.  Just amazing all around speakers.  They are set into the corners right near the wall. The bass and size of the soundstage is amazing.  Best speakers I've had in the house.  Probably, for me, the best buy in high end audio IRT speakers.  The sweet spot in Vandersteen's line.
