Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?

There's a great thread, "Speakers to hold onto for life".
The overwhelming consenses is that they're fullrange speakers.
How about us monitor speaker fans? What monitor speaker
do you own or plan on purchasing that will indeed stop
the quest for a better speaker, or to hang on to for life.

Markeetaux - You had previously asked how the Omega Alnico Super 8 XRS speakers would react to amps on the order of 120 wpc and higher. My Super 8's are about three weeks old and are not yet fully broken in. I have driven them with an Anthem Statement A5 (180 wpc), Nagra PSA (100 wpc), and an Accuphase P-3000 (75 wpc, but drives speakers with greater ease than my former 125 wpc Levinson 334). The Super 8's sound excellent with all three of these amps. They seem to like amps that have high current capability. But I believe they will sound best with a tube amp, and that is something I will begin exploring this weekend.

I previously stated that the Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos would stop the quest for me. That impression/opinion was based on several auditioning sessions at the home of my dealer. Now that I have owned these superbly musical marvels for about a month now, I will reaffirm unequivocally that my monitor speaker quest is OVER! Thank you Sonus Faber!
