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 agree with Audiologic. I listened to the big TADs at RMAF for the last two years and they are simply the best I have heard. Andrew Jones is a gentleman who will answer any question by giving you a whole lesson about the speaker.
Easy...MBL 101 Extreme. Unreal. Then again, for a quarter of a million dollars, they should be.

Second place...Magnepan 20's or B&W Nautilus.
A comparison at Audiologic between the JBL and the TAD would be at the top of my audio wishes.
