How to hear the best speakers?

I have had some success in this endeavor. Prior to visiting some hi-end shops, I have called and asked employees what their favorite in house speakers were. This method frequently brought me to lesser expensive brands with superior sound. I discovered Shahinian, Soundlab, and Quad loudspeakers in this way. What has helped you in the quest for the best?

??? There is nothing inexpensive about the Sound labs...

I will give you an example of where this did not pan out for me - Martin Logan. I apologize in advance to people who own them.

A frequently encountered example of what you are saying: The Revel F-series speakers.

I agree sounlabs aren't cheap. They are however inexpensive compared to rivals such as pipedreams. It's a relativity thing in my opinion. My point is that the most expensive isn't always the best.
