Best value speakers available

Paul, If you don't mind, what do you run your Harbeth's with? I know that you use tubes somewhere in the system, but am curious as to your setup. My dream speakers, I just discovered through further research, would not work with any tube setup (that I would ever own) thus my curiosity about the Harbeth's. Not too far off the thread as compatibility is part of value, I would think anyway. I am in search of a new dream/value speaker.

Best value? I agree with Tap3sap-- and specifically Vandersteen 2Ce signature at MSRP of $1500. Cheers. Craig.

Yes, the B&W DM302 are an excellent value. Easily the lowest price speaker on the Sterophile Magazine Recommended Class C List. They do list for $250. Has anyone heard the new DM303 ?? B&W Speaker as pretty good value at every price point except the Nautilus. The Nautilus are great speakers, but also very pricey.

David, I use an Audible Illusions Mod3a (smooth attenuators), Muse 160 amp (a tad soft on top) and a meridian 508.24. Charlie loves his with the Complete integrated, a lot softer than my M3a/Muse. The dealer from whom I bought mine and REG of TAS have used a little sharper more incisive solid state. The nice thing about the Compact 7 is that it works well with almost anything, just better with better and the more power the better.

Oh, and as far as economy speakers go, I think the AE Aegis One is a lot nicer than the B&W, but to each his own.

I second Wirehead and I've heard Clements. I also own them. Dollar for dollar, incredible sound - from the bookshelf to the floorstanding models. Again, I've owned both. Don't understand why more 'philes don't mention them. My interest in B&W is now peaked , however.
