The best speaker you ever heard?

Integra DHC-40.2 gets my vote. Street price is  
INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor

Silliest audiophile equipment of all time?
ALL Machina Dynamica products!I agree with Gmuffley - anyone who buys Geoff's products should not be allowed to vote, or be allowed to drive. 
Need Recommendations for System
