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?

just got back from the audio show in Montreal and I would
say the best was the 989 Quads.

Most speakers have anywhere from 3 to 10% distortion.
The quads have a measly 0.1%

Kinda redefines the word clean and acurate.

They did sound quite amazing.

Quad 988 or 989.

Did I say midrange to die for?

Well it has midrange to die for.
A reviewer said it was perfect and I'd have to
agree.

Perfect!

only ceavat is that the bass dosen't slam like
Focal JMlab's woofs.

but a pair of subs/woofers could fix that for what
might be the perfect speaker.
IMHO.

to jimpcn: I'm running a pair of Vandersteen 2W subs with my Quad 988's and it's a pretty sweet package.

I innocently walked into a highend audio shop 8 years ago & heard a pair of B&W 802 matrix 3s.I had no idea recorded music could sound so great!These may not be the worlds best speakers,but they changed my life.I became an audio nut on the spot.
