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?

If ever there was question with no potential for agreement, this thread's question is it. I was about to add a speaker but realize it is useless.
Wilson watt Puppy 7. I like to listen louder than most people and many speakers start to show weaknesses as you wind them up. The dynamic capability of this speaker is great. Even at "normal" listening levels, it's hardly trying and the result is an effortless super clear sound.
Quad ESL 2905. A year before they were publicly released, I was invited to a private audition at CES as I used to manage the Canadian distributor for Quad. They were running off a 909 amp. After 1 hour of the private audition, Quad had to ask me to leave so others could audition them. I went back the next day and could not get enough of these!
