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?

The Ribbon Reference System at Pyramid Loudspeaker, followed closely by the Sequerra SP-1. Over the years several other unlikely setups have generated memorable experiences but those two are formidable and do not ignore physics.

Hey Wahwah! I had that experience with the Met 3's as well and just bought a pair. I have had T-1's since '82.

Perhaps the Magneplanar Tympani T-IVa, overall. For "small" music the original Quad, unquestionably.
