The best speaker you ever heard?

I was recently out speaker shopping with my father and he was interested in a brand known as "Golden Ear". He had read about them in his two stereo magazine subscriptions and was looking to replace his old Kef's. Anyway the speakers were called Triton 2 and they retailed for $3000/pr. They were very clear and with the built-in amped subs, a subwoofer is barely needed with these. My father demo'd these just with a denon receiver (125 watts each) and they sounded quite good for the money. My personal favorite is still the Paradigm Signature 8, though!
