What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned?

What’s the best sounding bose speaker?  All the ones I’ve heard were mediocre.  Best Bose systems I’ve heard were in cars.

I think bose is crap.  When people say they like it, I smile politely and then lie to them and say “yeah, it’s pretty good”.  

Bose is more marketing and life style than hi-fi and it has nothing to do with price.   

Next up, beats headphones!

To my ears:

Over:
KEF, B&W, Piaggi?Swiss, Vandys, Magico 

Under:
Joseph Pulsars, Ascend, Sanders, PMC

Great but too Pricey:
Borresen, Vimberg

+1 for PSB being underrated. They get lost in the mid-price shuffle but the Barton's make a really good speaker.

under rated and under the radar are JM Reynaud

+1 for Sanders being underrated. My model 10e system with (2) Magtech stereo amps and LMS (loudspeaker management system) produces some of the most lifelike music I've heard and plays quite loud (unusual for 'stats).
