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?

The Pure Reference Speakers from Coincident are the best speakers I've ever heard . I have it matched with tube equipment and the sound is glorious .

Just a note: I too like the MBL's and think they are the best, but the electronics and source behind the speaker are critical!!
I just improved my analog source and can't believe I was considering a possible speaker future upgrade? What is wrong with me? I don't know there are alot of things wrong with me.
BTW I had to modify my tt cosiderably to get it to sound like this!!
