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?

I own a pair of B&W nautilus 805's the bookshelf variation, the 801's I found to expensive, the 805 really come into their own with an excellent valve amplifier, I have compared most of the speakers, and really Quad is just crap and sorry, so is Dynaudio, you get better flatness and sound accuracy from much cheaper Infinity or Sony speakers, Sonos Faber are for people who do not understand music or have an ear for proper intonnations, I found then highly annoying. happy listening Tom Gorman PHD tgor@aol.com
