Best U.S.A. speakers?

How about Gilmore Audio?
Yes, hi-end audio is lacking in credibility. Too bad, because otherwise more people might take an interest.

Anything by Intuitive Design....they need to be added to the list....

100% agreement with KCS and Arkprof.
I too own a pair of KCS speakers. The best bang for buck out there. IMHO.

I own Vandersteen 5A's. If you read their literature, the design is such that the driving amp is absolutely loafing because it only operates the mids and highs. The lows are handled by the built in 1000 watt dedicated amps. There is also the ability to equalize the speakers for accomodation to the room itself. The bottom line is that it sounds like music.

Unless I have missed it, no mention of Silverline, a good range of reasonably priced standmounts and floorstanders
