Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?


Some manufacturers have the financial means to plaster magazines with ads. For other, they are still at the word-of-mouth stage, and many will not get past this line.

I was wondering what less-than-well-known, or obscure speaker out there stand out as particularly gifted both in sonics and value ? Could be in any price category....

It would help if people posted links to their favorite speaker so we could see what they're talking about.
On Magnepans:
I really do not believe people cannot find better in a box as I have. If you like that illusion that's great,but there are other speakers that do transparency just as good and are not as difficult to manage in order to get great sound.

Some issues that a speaker buyer needs to consider:
They are room dependent
Hard to drive
Lack dynamic Bass
and a few other attributes which plague them for a choice for people looking for speakers. The traits which Magnepan gets correct are considerable also,but I feel Box designs get a truer illusion to what the actual event is.

That's just my opinion and I have owned and heard a lot of systems with Maggies.
