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?

Aida, by Sonus Faber. To my ears very ' natural' , with great attention to the music and related emotions.

I had the privilege of hearing a pre-production pair of full range Heil AMT's at CES in the late 70's. They never made it to production but were as close to audibly invisible as you can imagine. Stunning. Shame ESS was so poorly run. Oscar Heil was a certifiable genius.

Two bullhorns hooked up to a car battery compared to Bose 901's. Sure rocked!

901's turned on its back make great port-a-potties!

Number one problem with any answer, it depends on the environment you heard it. My first trip to the Munich hifi show I fell in love with all things Infinity. Their display was a 50 ft wall of Quantum 2 and three, QLS, Reference systems. I went to Wilson and heard Alexandria - love at first hearing! Went to Legacy to hear the Focus and sent it home to test, yes bought. I went to an audiophile home, 450 miles away to hear the Coincident and within 5 minutes that was all I needed. So much depends on where you listen. I have since added two big subs to fill in my room. Room is 38 long, 20 wide, and a ceiling going from 9 to 23 feet high. The sound is totally mesmerizing. Always remember the best test will always be your in the end. Good luck
