I nominate this company as building best speakers!

  He get's it    There is no “best.”  That’s a fallacy
       Some 10 yo weasel  likes then  So stay back 

Not sure how you can make such a strong claim until you've lived with a speaker for awhile.  I fell in love with a pair of speakers at the dealer, only to find that I could not live with them in my room, for various reasons.  The showroom is NOT your living room.

I have to agree with your assessment of the durability of the apogee speakers, the only thing that is finally getting bad on mine is the foam.

you know if you were to buy those speakers they would not come close to what you heard in that store & no matter how much  $ you spend cables & place meant location can make  or brake any big$ speaker i still love my old THIEL 3.6  With all drivers upgrade  Need Big power amp to drive theses  they Blow Any Wilson puppies out of the box have fun greg

@kw6 , The modern one way SoundLabs are a way different beast from what you have mentioned. They are more efficient, will go very loud, are virtually impossible to break and have a near perfect dispersion pattern minimizing room interaction. Read the reviews. I just wish it was easier for people to hear them. As far as detail, transient response and distortion levels are concerned they are far  beyond any dynamic speaker system. 
richop, I really like Magnepans and have set up many of them up for other people. I owned Tympanys for two years but IMHO anything smaller than the 3.7i is not worth listening to and none of them come remotely close to a full range ESL. The best ESLs are not anything. They are not bright or dull or fatiguing. They are whatever you hook up to them. Driven by appropriate equipment ESLs are magic. Magnepans are great speakers, better than many if not most dynamic speakers. They punch way above their price point but they are not even remotely close to the best full range , line source ESL. I should say that the tweeter in the 20.7 is the best tweeter made. It just plain sparkles.
