Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?

Amrita Jovian Pillar, BFS component of exceptional merit

Legacy Signiture III. Very efficient, I drive mine with an Audio Research Classic 60 with no problems at all. Change out the binding posts for the good Cardas copper ones, bi-wire with good speaker wire and you're in business. Prior to buying the Legacy's, I had several different brands of electrostatic speakers, incluing Martin Logan. Until I heard the Legacy speakers, I couldn't stand box speakers because I could either hear the box, or the tweeters sounded mechanical, or both. The Legacy Signiture IIIs are in a league of their own at the price ... retail with oak finish is around $5000. I bought mine used on Ebay for $2400. The're big ... and weigh 140 pounds each. Superb highs, mids to die for, bass to make you bleed, sound stage excellent. If these babies don't do it for you ... then you need to upgrade your electronics.

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.
