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?

Hard to get and not for the sub-40 hz bass lovers, but the mids and highs are heavenly. Best imaging, vocals, fit and finish (great WAF!) and under $1000, including Alpha Core inductors, Mills resistors and AudioCaps!

I have never heard a speaker with a smoother top and middle.

Cannot help but notice that your log in appears to be J. Giuffre. Any kin to the famous Jimmy Giuffre, the EXCELLENT jazz musician?

I believe that this thread will fill out by a few of us who were in NYH.

So far it was Joseph Pearl.

The best speakers I have ever heard are the speakers that are currently in my system at home Tylers acoustics Lynbrook monitors. They retail for $4,700 new. I have listened to loads of very expensive speakers ($5,000 to $30,000+) at various shows and showrooms but none have sounded better than the setup I have at home. Now I am not saying that the Lynbrooks are the best speakers around but in my system it has sounded better than any speaker I have heard. I am lucky in that for now it's a keeper.
