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?

That's easy: YGA Carmel's. With proper electronics and good source equipment these speakers eclipse anything I have heard since 1967. Now , if I can get Yaev to build me a "SE" version of the Carmel's-that would be cool!!!
Vandersteen Model 7, driven by Aesthetix phono/preamp/monoblock amps. Recent demonstration.
The Vivid Audio Giya G2. Heard them at a local reviewer’s house when he had them for a review last year.
Tidal Piano Diacera which is nice because a pair of them is in my listening room!
