Red Rose R3. Very colored sound due to suck-out between mid-range and ribbon tweeter. Did not sound natural or musical.
Polk RTi4. Rave Stereophile review, typical mid-if high frequency emphasis. Fatiguing to listen to without equalization to tame the high end.
Under-rated as used, too expensive new: PSB Imagine mini. Bargain on the used market. Liked so well bought second set. I use them as bedroom TV speakers where their diminutive size is a plus.
Overrated - all of your opinions on overrated speakers. Underrated - my opinion of how great Goldenear One.Rs and Refs sound at my house in my rooms driven by my components. :-)
I always thought that the 15 ohm LS3/5A was way overrated. Same for the original Quad ESL. I know, that goes against HiFi canon but I've had both for extended periods, years actually, and they just didn't do it.
Underrated, well the Acoustat 2+2 was marvelous. Too big and heavy to keep but easy to drive and great to listen to. They seem to make nobody's list.
