Youza. No XRT2K's?! Slighted, I tell you!

Wonderful speakers in that group - all of them (except the Cabasse, never heard that one... so I can't say from firsthand).

There's only one speaker there that would even have a chance in my house, even though it's probably to big for my room. I'm sure the others would be wonderful speakers, but not for me.

me want this! The PMC is the bargain of the bunch.

Focal rates the speaker’s frequency response at 18Hz to 40kHz, which means if it’s used in a theater you won’t need a subwoofer. The amp friendly speaker is also rated at an 8-ohm impedance level and a 94dB sensitivity level.
Run it on my 50w Cary 805ae. Oh, sweet, sweet sounds.

Price: $180,000 per pair

Not a bad start of some of the top speakers, but it is only a start.
