I've never heard a good showroom for Magnepan speakers, which I think take extra effort in setting up.

Stereo Design which was here in San Diego (they unfortunately folded this past Summer after a 33 1/3 yr run) had an incredible showroom for the 20.1s back in the early 2000s.
Talk about a holodeck experience; I couldn't listen to my 1.6s for two months after that.
I heard some Tympani 1d(?) speakers that were set up in a large room fairly nicely; the buyer temporarily allowed the shop to set them up and play them on some really nice equipment. Those suckers were HUGE.
This was about 40 years ago or so, if I recall (wow!) - mid to late 70s.
I remember that that during a classical piece I could feel the wavefront of a drum strike propagate through the room. It was something else... (I think my pants legs practically flapped ;-)
Happy Listening!
