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?

Rats and i just got my 901 series 7 mk2 today only to discover my wife took over the last available wall in the house.

The Analysis Audio ,think it was the size down from their large model,unbelievable sound!!Surprised more people do not own them!If I had the money ,,that is the speaker I would have,,incredible bass too! -Raytheprinter

I have been hearing great things about these myself......

Hi Weseixas,
Thanks. And yes, panels are tough to set up...but can be incredible. I still remember listening to the Apogee Stages with Mark Levinson electronics around 15 years ago. They were already kinda old by then...but it was remarkable how "lifelike" they sounded.

Do u use panels? -12-18-10: Lloydelee21

Yes, a Hybrid, Ribbon mid/high with dynamic bass drivers.

kind of like telling who the most beautiful woman is just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder for an audiophile beauty is in the ear of the beholder
Best I've heard is, I think, the Focal Grande Utopia at an audio show a few years back. I've heard other megabuck speakers (Kef, Cabasse), but they didn't have quite the scale or combination of effortless flow and excitement of the Grande Utopia. But...speakers like these need a HUGE room!
