Looks--Sonus Faber Amati Homage; I'm sure these must sound great too, but I've never heard them sound good, due to poor dealer setup.
Sound--Like Meech 33, Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams; when properly set up they have the soundstaging, bass extension and dynamic capability to make me feel as if I'm at the recording venue, and they are sensitive enough for me to use my favored lower-powered tube amps (Jadis JA80s, Lamm ML1.1s or Siltech amps) to drive the main towers.
