The best speaker you ever heard?

The best speaker I have ever heard is the mbl 101E as part of a $200K system at the 2012 Newport Beach Audio Show in a relatively large room. That being said, the best I have had in my small room is a recent purchase of Wyatt Acoustics 2.8 using Audio Nirvana 8 inch Alnico drivers. I was amazed at the coherence, immedicacy, presence, and clarity of a single driver. The total price was $1500 and I find the sound much more realistic than speakers I have owned that cost up to $40K.

how come no ones mentioned BOSE 901? LOL HE,HE

The Kaiser Kawero Classic is now the best speaker I have heard. I thought they sounded better than anything else at the New York Audio Show this year, much better than the top of the line TAD, Coincident, KEF, GamuT, or Raidho. I could listen to those speakers all day long...and I had never even heard of the brand before today. Moreover, they were in the LessLoss room, a company I thought was about smoke and mirrors. Go figure.

Mcondon,

interesting...can you describe what you heard in the Lessloss room a bit more? I just looked up this speaker...very interesting. Thanks for any insights, ackowledging you were hearing at a show. Any 'flavor' of what the Kaiser Kawero Classic sounds like is helpful.

ocellia speakers or similar are the most natural speakers (for me )
they focus in music as all full range do but ..with far less distortion ...For good "hi-end" sound i ve heard many speakers , cost a fortune, some are vey good or perfect in one area or another but finally after some time you feel boring ..it is just hi fi sound very good maybe for a few hours ..but after one week or two your brain start to complain !!! something crucial is missing ...thats why i believe people start to play with accessories ...cables etc they try to make a 2-3 way speakers full of passive parts & filters to play music..in vain
Of course if you have a full range speaker without the right amp ...forget it and of course any detail is important here
but thats a very long story ...
There is also another factor very important in my my opinion
when you have to ..say what is the best speaker ...
How many hours per day/week you listen music ?
I think propably many people love music but, for many reasons ,they really listen (i mean serious listening)just a few hours pew week ...so the best speaker for them is the one they already have ..or they dream or they listen for a few minutes in a hi fi show ...like fireworks many hi end speakers are very impressive ...sometimes more than the real thing...but this is not music.
