PSB Synchrony had perhaps as high a toe tapping factor as anything I have heard run of Rogue Tube amp and a nicely imaged full range sound that was right on.
Magico minis were distinguished by a most natural tonal purity and lovely soundstage and imaging when I heard them.
mbl created the largest, deepest soundstage I have ever heard in a large suitable room with lots of room behind the speakers and also demonstrated extremely accurate and lifelike imaging in that soundstage with a fine full range tonal balance overall.
OHMs are somewhere between PSB and mbl in regards to the overall sound but not far behind Magico in terms of overall tonal purity given the huge difference in cost between my system and the Magico system I heard.
Quad ESLs and OHMs are similar in many aspects however the OHMs have the big edge in overall dynamics and I suspect much less finicky.
GOTO horns had the nth degree of dynamics and a nice tonal purity top to bottom, at least with the vintage jazz and classical vinyl source material demoed. Soundstage was large and natural sounding in a medium sized 18th century room with high ceilings. The digital source on this rig was more back with the pack overall.
