The best speaker you ever heard?

I was recently out speaker shopping with my father and he was interested in a brand known as "Golden Ear". He had read about them in his two stereo magazine subscriptions and was looking to replace his old Kef's. Anyway the speakers were called Triton 2 and they retailed for $3000/pr. They were very clear and with the built-in amped subs, a subwoofer is barely needed with these. My father demo'd these just with a denon receiver (125 watts each) and they sounded quite good for the money. My personal favorite is still the Paradigm Signature 8, though!

Analysis Audio ,The best I have heard ! I have not heard all the top dogs ,but they impressed me . They dont seem to have a lot of dealers in the states.

I listened to the Magico Q7 at a local Boston dealer a few months ago and was taken away by the power and scale of the music. The room was big and well treated and the amplification and components were excellent. The speakers were placed slightly back mid room and maybe six feet from the side walls.

Incredible detail, staging, and sense of being at the venue. It would take serious resources to pull this system together (350K) but a true experience.

I'll hang on to my Verity Audio Parsifal Encores and Luxman gear, "But hold on to the dream.."

Bjesien,

Presume that was Goodwins High End? Did you hear the Rockport Altairs while you were there by any chance? i was hoping to go there to listen to those.
