Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?

Have you ever noticed the same brands of equipment and speaker manufacturers being debated over and over again in most threads ? I am curious what are some of the most little know speakers deserving mention you have heard ? With the lone caveat that they must still be currently in production.

I am curious to hear from some of the more research oriented audiophiles like myself. Those who don't just buy it because someone else liked it but listen for them selves.

Remember this hobbie is allot like choosing a mate there are no wrong choices as long as it works for you and suits your personal taste !

Two speakers that deserve merit are Audiokinesis and High Emotion Audio.

The Audiokinesis perform well above their price points, are easy to drive, wide bandwidth and plainly outright musical.

Another is the High Emotion Audio line. They have patented a new kind of tweeter that is much faster than the prior art and is also very efficient. I've not heard their more full-range efforts yet, but their monitors are without question head and shoulders above the competition.

The Ascendo speakers from Germany. Designed by Prof.Scheuring and voiced to the pattern of the Quad electrostat but with killer dynamics and extension in the
bass. Time and phase coherent and very musical.

I would say what many at CES noted, namely the LSA1 speakers, in particular the Statements. This small monitor outperforms most much larger and more expensive speakers and all for $2800 a pair.

I have to second Ralph's recommendation of Audiokinesis speakers. I have the Jazz Modules and am very happy.

Audiokinesis is one I have not heard that I would very much like to, especially as an option for use with a good tube amp.
