Don't hate me for asking. Head-fi is renowned forum for discussing hi-fi... amirite? I made a thread a few weeks/months back asking what the best setup in the world was if you had infinite money / was a billionaire but most people just said "lulz dont spend more than 5000!!!" = ruining the point of the thread and discussion at hand since there are PLENTY of speakers than cost tens of thousands of dollars, etc.
So these are some of the highest rated / awarded and most expensive speakers in the world. Top of the line from some of the best manufacturers in audio.
Again, I am not sure that these are the best nominations, but that's what the 'other' option is for... Ey ?
Also I might have got some of the prices wrong if not all them... Its not easy finding stores selling these speakers as they are so exclusive and rare. And some might be sold used or at reduced price... Whatever.
If you do not wish to answer the question posed, and wish to suggest that spending more than $2000 on a speaker is a waste of money you've come to the wrong place.
YES. I. FULLY. UNDERSTAND. SPENDING. THIS. MUCH. IS. A. WASTE.
Nissan GT-R will pretty much out perform any car and it costs £60,000. yet you can buy £1,000,000 Koenigeggs...

Anyways, in my humble and uneducated opinion I would say the Snell THX Music & Cinema Reference Towers
As used by George Lucas and Jerermy R. Kipnis and explained by Kipnis as to why its the ultimate choice in an 8.8 setup
Though of course I've never heard any of these speakers with my own ears except the Klipsch, B&W and KEF so that sort of does make my opinion invalid, but if I knew for a fact which were the best that would eliminate the sole purpose of this thread (;
