Goldmund Dialogues. These obscure speakers were offered briefly in the 80s in this country and were light years beyond any other dynamic at the time. I'm out of touch now so I can't speak to how well they hold up to modern achievers but here's the facts. They are 4 ohm, 96 db efficiency, and sport the fastest crossover in history with slopes in excess of 60 db/octave. The drivers are 1 inch inverted soft dome tweeter, 7 inch midrange, 7 inch woofer. All drivers are made by Focal. The cabinets are synthetic stone and weigh in somewhere around 150 lbs. each. I love them.
Certainly they are a top ten item but as I said I don't know where they would fit on the scale.
