I'm surprised there aren't more votes for Aerial Acoustics on here.

I feel the need to mention specific models because often I will dislike a company's lower end speakers but love their flagships.

1) Martin Logan Neolith - The best speaker I have ever heard but in all fairness the rest of the demo system retailed for over one million dollars.

2) B&W 800 Diamonds - The most goose bump inducing bass I have ever heard by far. Gets me every time!

3) McIntosh - Perfect for home theatre. Even their more affordable models are excellent at reproducing movie soundtracks.

4) Sonus Faber Strads - I still haven't had the privilege of hearing these but I would be willing to buy a pair just based on the countless reviews I have read. Plus, they are the most beautiful speakers ever made.

5) Muraudio - I heard these at RMAF and they are designed to have a massive sweet spot which makes them ideal for parties.

Ken - Good to see that you included Magnepan on your list. I'm surprised you did not mention Raidho.
