I went to the Rocky Mountain Audio Festival last year and the Wilson speakers were above and beyond anything else I heard there. Simply amazing.

Same here, but I haven't heard anything for more then $10k. I haven't heard them but have heard very good things about Odyssey Audio, I have always wanted to try the Loreleis.

I really should have put "Other" but unfortunately I cannot change the poll

A large name is Cables has a speaker that I actuality was really surprised to hear was a set of Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers running off of a setup utilizing musical fidelity KW series DAC & pre/power Amp combo plus it's own A5.5 CDP as a transport

Partnered up with MIT Magnum Ref series cables and VD Nite power cables... these puppies really Sang

It's surprising to find a transmission line speaker, let alone one that works so well and utilizes a "ribbon" tweet which helps provide the speed/resolution and spacial imaging that it does

Speaker is a giant killer IMO for the reasonable price of 4K
However, I think the MF KW series equipment & cables accounted close to another 15K worth of inventory

I like B&Ws, and I would probably own some right now if it weren't for Dynaudio. I was very happy with the Contour series, but now that I have some Confidence speakers I'm even more impressed. They just sound right to my ears, with a certain unforced sweetness that makes other speakers sound slightly artificial.

I've also used Totem speakers at home and can recommend the Model 1 Signatures. They use Dynaudio drivers, by the way.
