I've done some consulting work for mbl in Germany.
I have heard just about everything out there over the almost 40 years I've been in the high-end business.
Without question, the mbl Master Reference System is the absolute best that I have ever heard. Of course, you need a room, (properly designed to work with these) and a lot of money, but if you have both, IMHO you can't buy better.
Last time I was in Germany, I was able to tag along on the final setup of this system in a room that the owner had custom built (over $100K USD for just the room). It was the most awesome sound I will probably ever hear in my life....BREATHTAKING.
The current retail of this system is around $550,000, (sans room). Yes that's an astronomical amount, but again, if you have the funds...
