So what is the best speaker you have ever owned?

My current speakers are certainly the best I've owned; Audiomachina Pure System Mk. II - tonal accuracy, extension, imaging, bass control...they simply sound more real....spookily so at times. It would be more difficult to come up with anything they are not doing right. I suppose they are not a head-bangers speaker, but they do suit the music I listen to most. If only my room could do them better justice!

Mechans; are you kidding me? You obviously haven't heard the Revised Screamingloudbigbottoms Mark IIIa Reference Platinum Statements with outboard crossovers. Now those babies move straight into the realms of the objective...at least for anyone with two working ears. I think they were actually made from Adam's other ribs by The Creator and multiplied like the fabled fish to feed the many hungry ears who can actually afford them.

Actually, I think the point that Mceljo might have been emphasizing (and they can correct me if I'm wrong as can the OP they're referring to), is that in the course of many years and many speakers, a personal best may be somewhat relative to the system and room it was installed in at the time, while some that were not favored may have been far better under different circumstances. At least that's what I was taking as being "relative". Otherwise, you are quite right that the question is asking for a personal experience and opinion and is pretty obvious that it's entirely subjective. Except, of course, for the RSLB Mk. IIIa RP!
