MY TOP 10 LIST starts with: KLIPSCHORNS CAN DO THINGS TO MUSIC THAT NO OTHER SPEAKER CAN. MAKE CHILLS RUN UP AND DOWN YOUR SPINE.
Duntech Soverigns though not as accurate as they could be have a beautiful wide range sound and when driven by good electronics sound wonderful.
B&W Signature 800's, outstandingly accurate and very good, maybe not as exciting as the K'horn and the Soverign.
Paradigm Signature S8 Does a lot of things well and is a very balanced speaker and properly team it with a Signature Servo and it will be wider range and rock solid clean bass as good as any.

Just bought a new pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers. They replaced my Hales System 2 Sig's and are far more musical.
Having heard many speakers in the last 25 years, the G's are a real piece of art and IMHO the best speaker for small ensemble, classical and small jazz or blues in the world.
Have not heard the new Memento's, but I have a feeling that their ring radiator would be inferior to the Esotar driver.
