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?

Sequerra Monitor Speakers NFM driving the Mid & High + 10inch woofer for the Low Mid. These speakers can beat the 6' footer available today. When it comes to classical & dynamic music, you will feel the real meaning of "weight" in your system.

I would say for nearfield listening the Manger MSW in OB is sublime. Outside of reason for a computer speaker ;-) but then people do spend a lot on good headphones. I wouldn't know where to start with the best monitors ever but if the bass isn't right then there is no hope.

I would list three in no order. Reference 3A Grand Veenas, Sander Sound latest electrostats with their 1000 watt amp, and Acapella LaCampanellas. If could deal with bass below about 38 Hz, I would add the $2500 LSA1 Statement.
