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....

klipsch rb-3 and rb-5...these will surely cause a few snickers, but for compact 2-way speakers they can compete with any product!
After a couple of decades in this hobby and many dozens of speakers, I find the Europas the most musically enjoyfull speaker I have owned. Fully broken in, placed right, for $880, these speakers are a serious steal. Roy knows what he is doing and hit the nail on the head with these gems.
I would put my vote in for Eminent Technology. Great sounding push/pull planar with detail just like other planar or electrostatic speakers by Magnepan or Martin Logan. Their LFT-8s can be had for under $1400.00.
Polk Audio LSi's.

Everybody thinks Polk...mid fi big box speakers.

In my experience the LSi's out performed Paradigm Studio Reference, PSB stratus and Energy Veritas. Polk has done a horrid job marketing the line, and nobody with any decent electronics carries the line. A real shame, because a big company like Polk really went all out and came in with a great affordable high end product.
