Dream: Some years ago, I heard Grand Ventures (ancestors of the current Grand Ultimate Mk III?) at RMAF. Not sure 100k+ for any speakers is a good use of resources, but I thought they were absolutely stunning, and conspicuously better than many flagship speakers I've heard.
Reality: Listening to speakers at a (nominally) more reasonable 10k (give or take), I've been struck that while many are very nice, few stand out from the pack as clearly superior choices.
