What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well?

You should have come over on Oct 20th and heard the Rosso Fiorentino Volterra Calvin.  The little brother Fiesole went home with someone and the Volterra sold a week later.  I've still got the Siena on demo.

I know how much you like older Sonus Faber and the Rosso Fiorentino gear has been compared favorably, but I much prefer the RF sound.  RF is not a 'small' company, but they haven't saturated the US market yet.
