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?

Just picked up a pair for 1100.00. These are really nice. Big, rich, realisic sound. I can't ask for more.
1) Yamaha NS-1000

2) Big Wilson monster-thingy

3) Linn Isobarik DMS

4) Spendor SP1/2

5) Martin-Logan
Have not read the whole 14 pages so I don't knoe if mentioned, but I heard a couple of MBL speakers (driven by MBL gear) recently and I doubt anything can sound that "real".
