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?

Shahinian Diapason- sounds like live music - can play unstrained at live levels - motivates you to listen to all of your recordings again so you can hear how they were supposed to sound- reproduces the lowest frequencies effortlessly- motivates non- audiophiles to compliment your system- priced very reasonably

The best speaker I have heard is the Alón Exotica Grand Reference System. While it excelled in virtually every audiophile parameter, the bottom line is that it provided the most realistic presentation of recorded music I've experienced.

NHT 3.3. I wish I had written down the amp that was
powering it.

I am not a long time audiophile so I haven't listened
to a lot, but my next speaker purchase will be a set
of 3.3's, without a doubt.
