Whatever the current TOTL Revel Salon series tower is my dream speaker and has been for quite a while.
 
If I were a billionaire, I imagine I'd probably own KEF Metas, in one flavor or another. But I'm not a billionaire.
 
Some expensive Ino Audio floorstanders plus 2-4 bas modules. To make it complete I'd add many surround speakers plus center speaker.
Room would be built for this purpose. A few examples, really serious constructions

As ancient as they are I would be interested in a pair of Infinity Reference Standard IRS. I like a good thump and after lotsa time with the Infinity Kappa 9's that have some pretty good slam/thump I can imagine the IRS would be awesome too. :D

(Based on my familiarity with the brands or having heard them)
 
Don't dwell on it much, but would depend a lot on the room I could put it in. I'd probably lean to good commercial stuff....the silly aesthetically oriented (and often fails at) overpriced audiophile crap doesn't appeal whatsoever.
 
Since 2016.

 
To me there is no definitive end speaker, not because it's out of reach, but because it's an illusion. My current speakers are the best I've heard. They consist of the B&O beolab 9 and the genelec 8030. When I listen to the 8030 they are my endgame. I feel the same when I listen to the beolab 9's. When I listen nothing else matters.

(I'm sure I'll change/upgrade my speakers when they are end of life. And that I'll change a preamp or a bluray to 4k or a tv to oled 4k, but it doesn't mean a thing on the scale of enjoyment. Just a quick flash of satisfaction when there's an upgrade and then that's the new normal.)

1st I would need a bigger room for bigger speakers if I would dream about big speakers, but maybe I would like to test the Genelecs, I had som old ones that I borrowed for my office some years ago and sounded amazing, I needed to returned them back. I have some Bouchards at home that I am happy with, were my dream speakers 2 years ago.
 
Admittedly I don't spend much time dreaming about speakers that are financially unobtainable and wouldn't suit my actual listening space. I tend to "dream" more about attainable products that would work in my listening room.
 
My obvious choice is not that unattainable (by this I only mean they sell in my town ;) ). It's KEF Reference 3 (with Meta material and in this colour):

Came to realize that in my setup, bookshelves don't occupy less space and since my listening room is downwards of medium, I might even like them without subs (not saying subs wouldn't help).

My less obvious choice and something almost impossible to have might come as a surprise (shipping costs alone would kill any initiative). It would be these concave BMR's by Mr @Dennis Murphy

Sure, they list on his page for 1900$, but shipping to Croatia is simply too much.

Wouldn't say no to this system. Ino Audio i32s mainspeakers, and those alone would be fine for me. Ino Audio i16s as center speaker. It's high-end in itself.
8x Peerless Discovery 12” for the lowest frequencies, but the mainspeakers do fine without this colossal help as said.
This brand always has a goal of neutral and clean sound. Nothing else would suffice.

Pretty easy
Did you listen to them?

Nice written, and I guess it's true.

My ultimate speaker?
I have no idea because I haven't listened to enough speakers. Certainly something neutral, but they probably do not have to be perfectly equal - if at all possible, a large one - I like large loudspeakers, dynamic - does this word make any sense in the case of speakers?
