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?

Avantgarde Trios, tough to beat good horn systems if you like the true dynamic range of music and not the possibly more "accurate" but compressed sound of most high end speakers.
VMPS RMX 'Elixir', I am fortunate to spend a couple hours each day with this system in our studio. While you may want to take this with a grain of salt since we peddle VMPS, I invite you to come listen and decide for yourself.
