I suppose I should have clarified what I meant by uber high end, but I don't think I had really nailed that down in my own mind before writing the post. I think there are a ton of good science based speaker manufacturers making gear in the 10-25k range. Poor price/performance? Sure, but I would still bet that the correlation between increasing price and increasing listener preference is mostly positive in that range.
I guess I was thinking more like 50k+. In my mind, that's where it starts to become a pretty big gamble, where there's a pretty good chance you end up with a straight up bad speaker. I wouldn't be surprised if there were little to no correlation between price and preference in that range, or even a negative one(relative to say a good $30,000) speaker.
I guess I could add KEF(Muon) and JBL(Everest), but even then, are those speakers even better than say the Blade1 Meta or M2(outside of bass and spl)?
But, no harm in mentioning speakers that you personally consider uber high end.
