As a long time MBL groupie (and I owned the MBL 121s), the MBL 101 X-treme were on my list. And I actually happened upon a private demowhen visiting the USA - a dealer had them set up in a big room.They were a total gas to listen to, though I don't think they were working optimally in the room.
I did such a big speaker search not long ago, able to listen to tons of speakers on my list, that I cleaned most of them off the list.
But...for speakers I'm dying to audition in my home:
Devore O/96.
Loved them in the show room. But tricky speaker to get right and I want to see how they'd sound in my room.
Even more so, I'm super intrigued about the new updated "Bronze" version of the O/96!
And I would also add how auditioning the Devore Super Nines are up there for my real-world auditioning too.
Taking off from there, I'd also love to hear the current Spendor Classic speakers, e.g. 3/1 right through to the 200.
I'm also very intrigued by Charney speakers.
Also: Janszen electrostatic speakers. That sealed box design fascinates me.
Aaand, the Audio Physic Avantara and others in that range.
Plus...HORN speakers. I am so bereft of true sit-down-and-listen to horn speakers. There's no real way they would work in my room, but I've loved the character I've glimpsed at some shows or stores.
