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?

Pipedreams. Uncannily capable of recreating an acoustical event as it was recorded in its original space. I guess that means a sense of effortless scale. Their ridiculous size precludes home use for me, but I really felt like I was in Jordan Hall (in which I listen to live music at least monthly) when hearing Zander's BPO playing Stravinsky's Rite in that infamous live recording on Pickwick (1990). Spooky stage realism....and NO bass overhang!
