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?

Reference 3A Grand Veena. Why? Accuracy. Imaging. Big sound. Speed. I'm sure there are better speakers, but I'm not sure any of them cost $8000 or less.

The Grand Veena...Coherence, I knew there was a word I was forgetting. They were magnificent loud, and it was impossible to ignore even at low volumes. You're lucky to own them- I have the deCapo-i from Reference 3A, and I love them, but they are not the Grand Veenas.

I heard them where I bought my Ref 3A deCapo-i speakers. It was a large basement room that was about 17 wide and 28-30 feet long. The speakers were about 8 feet apart, 5-6 feet from the back wall, and I was probably 10-12 feet from the speakers. I haven't got enough space for them where I live, but if I did I'd have to find the money to buy them.
