The best speaker you ever heard?

The Orion loudspeaker from linkwitz labs has to be one of the greatest speakers ever made.I have heard many many of the highly regarded speakers. I have heard most of the top and current models( Merlin,B+W,Focal,Martin logan,Totem,Gallo etc etc) but the orion is the finest I know of.No speaker is perfect but man this one puts you substantially closer to live music than any other I have heard.

Loki1957 - I also have the Hales C-5. I will never sell them! One of these days I'm going to give them the power they deserve... I'm sure it will be a whole new experience.

..... and the rockport technologies hyperions, which i now so proudly & enjoyably own!

I haven't been exposed to much, but the best system I've heard was 3 channel set-up using Dahlquist DQ-20s in 1990 or so. The guy had put together a comparator that took the information that was common to both channels and put that in a center channel. It wasn't a "surround sound" processor, either. Around that time I also heard some Acoustats that sent me down the path of ESLs, I'd say those were the most dramatic speakers I've heard with regard to the life-changing impact they had on me.

The best speakers I've ever heard are the Sequels I get to listen to every day! :)

The DCM TFE200's are some of the best sounding that I have ever heard...just AMAZING! THEY ARE THE REAL DEAL!!
