Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price)


The aim of this thread is to create a list of speakers that people enjoy and recommend and to organise the speakers into a list based on their MSRP. Please recommend speakers that you have personally heard or own and enjoy. I will add the names of the users who recommend a speaker next to the speaker name (and if someone already recommended the speaker you had in mind please feel free to recommend it again because I will add your name as well).

Please feel free to include gear that was used to listen to your recommendation and some impressions (although you do not have to).

This list may be useful to new buyers to get a general sense of popular models to help guide what to audition during the purchase process.

Wilson MAXX II speakers in my system which includes Audio Research Ref 6 pre, Audio Research 610T amp, Bergmen Turntable, Audio Research Phono pre, Morrow Elite interconnects, MIT speaker cables.

Sound is a rich experience every time I light it up.  So much thought went into the design of the Wilsons to reveal the quality of every other piece in the audio chain.
@Smod:

The list is growing rapidly as predicted by a few posters.  As it does its value may be waning, since if it only takes one mention to make the list.

Perhaps there should be a similar list that includes only those speakers mentioned (or confirmed) by a certain number of members... maybe 5 or 10.

Multiple lists could be maintained (I'm generous with your time, aren't I?), but they would carry different weights.

Just a thought, because I do think there's a valuable purpose here.
