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?

Martin Logan Grand Slamm.I heard when they first came out at a Stereophile Show. I think at the time they cost $70,000.00 a pair.They had a pair of these huge woofer towers with 6 12 inch drivers as well.Amazing transparency,speed and slamm.

ATC active 100's. Can any passive speaker equal active speaker technology? It's been almost 3 years - still the best speaker I've heard.
