The best speaker you ever heard?

Magnepan 2.7QR are my choice. Nearly full range, incredibly detailed, very musical and by far the best soundstage I have ever heard. Always a treat. Lose the box and let the music play. -Might have to get a divorce however due to low W.A.F.

In the 1970's, at home then, the AR-LST, in the recording studio 1980's, the Yamaha-NS1000, at home in the 1990's, the Cello Amati, and in 2005 at home, the Meadowlark Nighthawks. And quite frankly, anybody who spends over $8k in a pair of home speakers, its just plain nuts, as there many many good sounding speakers under that price range that are not surpassed by any esoteric speaker beyong that range. Even Forrest Gump knows better than that!
