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?

Hill Plasmatonics. As soon as I heard them, I felt my temperature rising---and within an hour even the room temperature was rising!! These were the best winter speakers ever produced and probably the best tweeter ever made. I wonder how they would sound today with modern subs and crossovers and electronics etc.....
