Best ht speaker systems

I am posting for a friend who thought he had a good system until I explained that bose is not that great and showed him what is possible.
What are some of the most awesome sounding ht speakers.
A friend in the industry told me a few years back that B&W set up in a Boston audio shop was the best he ever heard, and he's heard the best of the best being in 2 channel for many years, anyone know which one this is?

There are only two real sides to this coin:

1: audiophile loudspeakers being pressed into service to do home theater

2: real home/commercial loudspeakers,

Here is the real story there are almost no consumer grade loudspeakers that can do real home theater.

Real home theater is the ability to go to 120db without compression, or any distortion, and be able to do that for hours on end.

Now I am not subscribing to playing or being in a room with that kind of output but the real test is the ability to play extremely dynamic material and have it sound that you are in the actual event.

In a real movie theater they do not use conventional drivers, they use horns for the reason used above.

There are only three manufacturers that make real home theater systems:

Jbl Synthesis
Professional Home Cinema Paul Hales Company
Procella

The thing that is in common with all of these systems along with output is a combination of dsp for driver and room equilization and integration, and matching high power amplification and very expensive modified versions of commercial drivers.

I heard a demo of a large PHC system and it was remarkable.
