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?

My Totem Winds capture alot of the characteristics of the Bozaks plus more inner and low level detail...check out new stereophile review of old Bozak Concert Grands...my brother had a pair of these as well at one point! Most modern speaker builders design out the natural dynamics and smooth full midrange that is the hallmark of live music. The new Wilson Sophia $12000 delivers what the old B313 did for $600??
