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?

I have owned some different speakers but the ones that for me are really much better are the Dionisio speakers by Yamamura Churchill.

Having heard and owned horns, electrostatics (many), electromagnetics, ribbons and many other dynamic speakers for me the Coincident Pure Reference has a presence, tangibility and transparency that is unbeatable except perhaps by their PR Extreme.

I agree about the Contriva DiaCera SEs. When I first heard them, I knew this was the exception to my conclusion that all speakers were compromises somewhere.
