Best speaker I've heard is harbeth 40.2 in Sounds N Images. Best harbeth if room and budget is not an issue otherwise I can already live with my SHL-5 which can also sound very good when properly tweaked.

I bet the 40.2 would cost around more or less at the 500 level  :o

The discontinued Sonus Faber Cremona Floorstanders with ring radiator tweets powered by an Audio Research Pre/Pro is totally heaven to my ears. Probably one of the few speakers where I can't find any fault with. Thoroughly engaging!

me of all that I tried, it may seem un-believable but its the WHARFDALE Dentons. I would really consider this as a "Super Bang For The Buck Little Box"! Sound is really a good pairing on whatever kind of amp you throw at it. Whether its a Vintage gear, Tube or SS it really produces a very neutral tones, Deep Lows are even capable w/c my Vienna Acoustics cant handle on SAM SMITH's Stay W/ Me at a little high on the knob. On the HIGHs sibilance is really absent w/c sometimes can be fatiguing to our ears. Even TT Guru NOLY (TAS) came to the house & saw the little devils said These Are Great Performers. Indeed they are. Just sharing an experience for a bookshelf that cost no more than P14k  ;)

yes, Denton it is!
good to know, am in good company :)

Yikes ang mahal naman sa speakers niyo. Harbies are good, I mean excellent but they are in another different level especially the price. The Orangutan are Superb! heard it once in a shop in NYC but a whopping price of $7k something, it must also have to do w/ the high end sources used.

I'm intrigue w/ the DeCApo Ref3A but never had the chance to hear it, who's selling it in Manila?
Wat Hifi sir in MCS.

My Holy grail has always been the Dynaudio Special 25 paired with twin REL's and Classe electronics. Been looking far and wide for a good pre owned pair but no luck yet. My system is built already around it unfortunately obtaining it seems to be elusive. I do love my Contour 1.8MKII's but the Special 25 is indeed a level above it.

I have very limited experience with other's set up..but there is one that stand out when I was auditioning for speakers intended for HT usage.  The Aurum Cantus Melody 102/103..really loved the sound out of this.

If I will be able to get my own place in the future I will buy back my Dentons lol or use my father's JBL 4312a..maybe a proper set up will do them good.

I miss my Infinity 4.5s driven by the ARC D79/ Threshold Stasis combo.
Old school pa rin.   :)
Well, that was some 30 years ago.

Have been out of the audio loop na so I can only talk about “old stuff”.
Am a soundstage guy so my partiality to planars … but you need lotsa room to let these breathe. I once hauled a pair of Tympani’s in my smallish bedroom (which was my listening room then) much to my wife’s annoyance. :)
Didn’t work.
Replaced them with the old Quads. Fantastic midrange reproducer but had to let these go since I was wary of it’s reliability.
Downsized to SMGa’s. Loved the Maggie sound so I got the MG 111’s when I had a bigger dedicated listening room. For me, this broke the myth of planars lacking the lows.
Given the adequate power (yes, these babies are hungry), the 7.5 sq foot area can push air enough to get those lows.
I still have the 111s but been hibernating for some time now.

Right now, my daily driver is a pair of Onkyo Liverpool 2 bookselves.
I’m happy with these. Reminds me of my old SL6s.
These rotate with the Sony La Voces.
https://bb3blog.wordpress.com/2015/09/08/the-sony-ss-a5-la-voce-speakers/

I’m sure most modern speakers have that holy-grailed neutrality unlike the colorations introduced by those dinosaurs mentioned above.

I only use vintage and from what I've had, the AR-9, Yamaha NS-1000, JBL 4312, and JBL L-112 were the best sounding.
