I have several in that catagory - some I have actually owned - others I wish

Not in any particular order:

B&W 802
Yamaha NS-1000
Custom Bipole switchable speaker using Viva,Audax and ScanSpeak drivers (4way system 2 inch thick baffle - these things sounded magical)!
Martin Logans
Vandersteen 3A
Polk Audio SDA-SRS signatures.
Dunlavy Black Knights
Totems (I don't remember which model)
Snell - Reference A's
Infinity RS (Old school series, Betas, Gammas, Deltas)
Klipsch La Scalas
Dynaudio Confidence Series

Chime in and lets see what your hears have been blessed to hear - you don't have to owned them.

Ones I would like to hear:

It is actually Vifa.

I have heard too many to mention, but some of the more expensive ones I have heard are Logan's flagships (forget the name), B&W 800 + 802ds, Magnepan flagships, Focal Electra (forget model number, biggest pair), Vandersteen (somewhere in the middle of their line), Thiel (something like 12k/pair), Krell LAT1, Macintosh flagships, and the Paradigm S8. That is all I can remember. I have not done much critical listening to expensive speakers since I bought my speakers 5 years ago.

The recent ones (within 2 years) on my list are the B&Ws, the Focals, and the Paradigm S8.

Oh and Revel speakers like 6 years ago (somewhere around 10k/pair I heard)
