I've been mesmerized by these since hearing them-Sonus Faber Stradavari

Not crazy priced too-$15-20K if you do your homework. 

 

Gale GS401A speakers look and sound amazing IMHO, especially considering these speaker are +40 years old. This is what they look like:

 

Scientific Fidelity Tesla. Still my favorite sounding speaker, too, after auditioning B&W, Martin Logan, PSB Synchrony One, Von Schweikert, and several others in my listening room.

Not only do these speakers sound fantastic, their wide front makes them behave more like a panel speaker, but with the dynamic range and smooth response of dynamics. I really wish more audiophiles got to hear these speakers. I should remember to recommend them every time a reader says they have a difficult room.

They are in many ways what a Snell A/III would sound like today, though the A/III still has the best room/bass coupling of any floor stander I've ever heard.
