Without a doubt, the Altec Lansing thread. It just does something to my insides.

I would be biased, and agree with Cals first choice. What I thought would lead to a show and tell thread, went further than that. A lot of emotion, and revisited memories to many.

Another of my frequently visited threads is the full range driver pics:

This is a good starting place for newcomers, Used Full Range Drivers.

And this one, started by a newcomer, who was having a ball with old console drivers.

While it started out as a discussion on MY line arrays, and it got occasionally vociferous, it went for more than 116 posts, and almost 8000 views.

Its still the longest running discussion on designing and building of line arrays on this forum anyhow.

A very educational and entertaining thread. Well worth reading through:
Another discussion on what to build speakers out of...

[Variac]

Here's one of many threads started by someone asking what speakers to build. It mentions the usual (good) suspects:

Here are the "glorious four" threads that deal about stereophonic imaging and unusual ways of achieving it. In my opinion four is already three too much, so in the hope it won´t become even more:

general thread
room-speaker-interaction
ambiophonics
other unusual implementations
