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....

ACI,

They have the Jaguar / LFM's which I own, the Sapphires, Talismans, Panoramas etc.

In addition they make some great subs: The Titan, The smaller Force, and the monster Maestro.

Here isd a link to the ACI forum on Audio Circles where the Maestro is reviewed

Definitey Tyler Acoustics speakers. I own both the Linbrooks and the Taylos. Both can hold their own with best speakers anywhere near their respective price points.

I also agree with the Legacy and ACI recommendations too. Both companies make fine speakers.

I don't think that this list would be complete without including the Ohm Walsh line. I just took delivery of a pair of Micro Walsh Talls and and they are "giant killers" at their $1000 price point. Huge, three-dimensional sound stage and full, articulate bass response to die for... and all in a tiny footprint. (If you have seen the Totem Arrow, these are almost identical in size.) Oh, and did I mention that they are coherent and articulate? :-) only sold direct from Ohm via their website. Really, more people should give these a try, particularly since you get a 120 day in-home trial. :-)
