Hello everyone. I already posted this before in the general forum, but realized this forum is more appropriate. The title question was probably a dead giveaway, because it is probably pretty dumb. I am new to audio in general, and fairly oblivious to my own tastes in sound.
For reference, I have a bluetooth Bose speaker I bought at a mall 10 years ago that I'll sometimes connect to my phone.
My cursory understanding of audio is that it's subject to a ton of variables, like matching amps and speakers that go together, the condition of the room, and your subjective tastes in sound.
Having said that, the world of high end audio is fascinating to me, especially speakers, in how they are seemingly very divergent in appearance/underlying technology, often from brands that are more obscure than mainstream electronics, with very high prices, that all aim to offer superior sound. As a newbie, I am drawn to speakers that "looks cool" like the Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus, MBL 101 X-Treme MKII, and Steinway Lyngdorf (for the piano brand association, with little knowledge about how better that makes them compared to regular Lyngdorfs).
So I hope to ask veterans in the world of high-end audio what speakers you consider to be the finest that money can buy. Googling lists of best speakers seem to inevitably bring up haphazard lists of expensive speakers.
Thank you for your time, and I apologize if the question is not really worth it. I have other hobbies that I am more versed in, where I understand it can be frustrating when someone asks a blanket question like this.
