Best of the Best...as good as it gets. Don't care for price can be 30 grand whatever. Audio system for computer/studio/home theater. What is the absolute best audio hardware to have ? I assume speakers don't even count since the screens are better? Post your what you people think is the best audio hardware up to date. The best by the audio quality you can get.

Dunlavy SC-VI speakers. I haven't had the pleasure of listening to them personally, but the people who I've talked to who I hold in good opinion in audio matters who have listened to them agree that they are absolutely marvelous.

Wilson, JMLabs, Dynaudio, Kaya, Peak and Kharma all make awesome speakers as well.

Obviously, great speakers have to be matched up with great amps (DarTZeel amps are good, among others).

onkyo makes some wicked amps/rack units

speakers are a "listen and see what you like" kinda deal, but you get what you pay for, and on a sub, I'd go for an 8-10", as they have tighter sound and tend to not "humm" like larger ones
