Walk-around the musicians in your living room. Real palpable imaging with great dynamics and real bass.

Heard some top-end ATCs yesterday. $16K per pair is a little out of my price range (although that does include a power amp in each box). That said, these were the most incredible speakers I've never heard. I mean "never" heard. I felt like Count Basie, the Roches, Leo Kottke, were playing in the room for me. Astonishing! (thanks, Chris, for the audition!).

I dont really have alot of experience listening to higher end systems, but from my experience wihtout a doubt the best sounding speakers are Definitive Tech's BP300TL.

Analogous to best wine/beer/food/etc.. you ever tasted! I don't think it's worth an answer because it depends so much on personal preferences, atmosphere, mood, occasion, etc...

The best speakers I ever heard was a cheap pair of bookshelf Fisher speakers on top of my old bed while I was making love the 1st time to my then-girlfriend! I can't repeat the same experience with the much more expensive MA Studio 6 with the same person anymore ... Sad ..
