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?

Legacy Whispers. I have auditioned B&Ws, Dunlavys, Martin-Logans, Vandersteens, Revels, just to name a few. All great speakers, but for the money and incredible performance, I'll take my Whispers over them all.

Lumen White Light Monitors--for dynamic speakers. See my review "White Light Monitors" here on audiogon to understand what makes them the best.

Piega 10's. Never thought I would trade the Dunlavy v's until I heard these. At half the price and one third the size they completely blew away the Dunlavy's in respect to detail,soundstage,highs and believe it or not the bass.
