I head some Linn (I think it was Linn) floor standers that sounded really nice. Not much to look at but sounded nice for $5k-ish. Outside of the Wilson's having more bass, I thought the Linn's were better.

I bought a pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars and was underwhelmed. Undervalued? Don’t know.

On the other hand, Magneplanars are surprisingly good IF PLACED PROPERLY and you use very good electronics. Cheers!
