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

Overrated: whatever didn’t fit my ears and/or my room.

Underrated: whatever worked for my ears and my room.

Missing link: amplifier used 

Klipsch Cornwalls are the best in the line for efficiency and accuracy in my opinion.  I play almost only vinyl and have a very high end turntable and nice amp.  I owned a pair of Klipschorns(top of the line) as well and as far as accuracy and depth of stage I believe the Cornwalls are superior.  I don't know about the new ones but my pair are from the early '80s.

How about Avalon, rockport , and yg acoustics ????

My take away so far is:
"I am happy i don't own B&W speakers." Early on when choosing a desktop system I did a comparison (A-B switch) between B&W & Martin Logan (15's) bookshelf speakers. The B&W sounded pretty damn good and I kept fighting with myself thinking, you can't chose the M-L over B&W. Eventually i just went with what sounded better to me, and in this case it was M-L. So, in the end it was just marketing that i was really fighting with. 
  For the Record, i am currently using Thiel TM3's for desktop application driven my M700's. (no need for subwoofer). This is justified bc i only paid $700.00 for the Thiel's at auction, brand new in the box with stands. And to me, the TM's are pretty damn good sounding speakers although i would not have paid $3,000 for them.  
On the shelf taking a break waiting to be called in off the bench are my coveted & very close runner ups, Burchart S400's-(very fine speaker).
In the big room, "Surround Sound System."
Paradigm Prestige 95-F Towers/Center/Rear Surrounds & SVS subwoofer.  

Someone mentioned Totem.   Yes!  When I hear them and then see all the praise, "over-rated" certainly describes my mindset.
