Are these Speakers the BEST on Planet Earth ?...

The vast majority of people agree that low distortion, flat and extended frequency response is best.

That's silly. I don't think the vast majority of people even know what "frequency response" is.

Many people also think "flat response" is best because the term sounds good. Fact is, any significant exposure to real, unamplified live music will tell you there is no correlation between "flat response" and "real."

Sadly I will probably never hear them, but I’ve heardso many others that I thought were amazing, I’m going to have to say no.

When everyone’s ear are literally different and literally unique in that physicality, and when everyone learns through that unique physicality in a unique individual path, and this unique pairing becomes their interpretation of the physical reality of hearing....then...

...no, there is no such thing as an ultimate piece of audio equipment nor an ultimate speaker.

That we each see an orange uniquely and the only commonality is that we share a language that is transferable, as a descriptor of the given thing. Where we each see ’orange’, but the total sum interpretation of that commonality of the ’orange’ word, is unique and individual. Seven billion separate individual unique interpretations that suffer commonality, but not exactness.

You exist solely as a subjective thing, in a subjective reality, in it’s entirely, inescapably so.

Where objectivity is a shared concept but has zero reality, outside of it’s entirely subjective vehicle/carrier.

So, we can have ’perfect sound’, but there is no one there to listen to it, and it is inescapably subjective. Objectivity is an impossibility in a human world, in a reality that cannot be proven in any way, but that of supposition. Ergo, ergo, ergo...

Illogical or uneducated minds tend to think otherwise. That somehow objectivity is a ’thing’. It is not. Objectivity is grade school stuff, rote methodology, dogmatic stuff for repetitious taskmastering..

Where if you scratch a high level scientist and or physicist in this direction, they will tell you the same. We communicate about our so called objectivity, but objectivity is merely a thought object, a tool... for the purposes of analysis.

Your reality, as you know it, is inescapably virtual. You have no other purchase or grip on it, that that. Anything else is a figment of your non-existent imagination. Logic, in the final levels, demands and illustrates this.

Ie, just a simple description of gravity in 5 levels, and the peak level, the 5th one, goes inescapably into metaphysics, and is a talk a between two physicists, who reveal that ultimately ...we can’t prove anything, anything at all.

So, to come back ’round again... No. No best speaker.

Best speaker for me. Best speaker for you. Whatever that given speaker individually might be. But it can’t really go any further than that subjective act.

The human ear being as stated at the start of this post. With a few bits of logic strung together, it can be seen why the objective linear mind goes batty when it encounters high end audio, as high end audio really brings the subjectivity of it all home to roost, due to the uniqueness of individual human hearing. 

And the objective mind freaks out, and attacks in all directions...like an animal being held high in the air by one foot, in a violent, turbulent and unbounded reality... completely undone --  out of place and outside of peace of mind.
