"The Ultra High-End Speaker."
Happiness is what we all seek. If you take a poll of 100 people, you will find several opinions. Sometimes we have to align contentment to our bank account. When I moved to the USA from India, I had a pair of JBL speakers that cost me $100.00 a pa... 
New Technics SL-1200GR2
The GAE was really EPIC. Every system is so vastly different in ways that one cannot fully comprehend till you start working in it. Room size, speaker size, phono pre-amps capabilities, etc. Owning a store I got to experience the GAE in my home by...

“House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers
I would also consider Vivid Audio and Stenheim. I carry both brands in my store as well as Bowers. The new 802D4 has plenty of bass setup correctly. Look at 801D4  
I nominate this company as building best speakers!
Stenheim makes the finest speakers. I have in stock Alumine 2 SE, Alumine 3 in light and dark grey and 3 pair of Alumine 5 and 5 se. I also have the Reference Ultime 2 and 3 Active. sunnyaudiovideo.com
