IMHO Hales Signature 2's. They Blew away my pair of Acoustat's and I would hate to think what this kind of cabinet quality and build would cost today.

Just bought a new pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage speakers. They replaced my Hales System 2 Sig's and are far more musical.
Having heard many speakers in the last 25 years, the G's are a real piece of art and IMHO the best speaker for small ensemble, classical and small jazz or blues in the world.
Have not heard the new Memento's, but I have a feeling that their ring radiator would be inferior to the Esotar driver.

After owning my Sonus Faber Guarneri's for a couple of months, I feel they are definitely some of the best speakers I have ever heard, maybe the very best. In my top ten, they are either the top or second.. The original B&W Nautilus might be better in a larger room.
