Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?

SP Technology

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. :-)

Salk Sound, Small internet based company which makes excellent built and sounding speakers.

For seasoned ears and those with exquisite taste -
Single Driver designs, horns build by small, dedicated and passionate companies which do what they love and love what they do. Same goes for other, awesome products - TT, carts, preamps, amps, DACs etc.

My lips are sealed.
