High value, giant killer speakers?

Absolutely without a doubt the new Sonus faber Sonetto 5's. I've owned Focals, B&W  702's and 705's (originals) and Sonus faber Venere 2.5's. For $4,999.00, these speakers far outperform their cost, and compare very favorably to others at twice the price or more. Designed and built in Italy with new woofer design and trickle-down tweeter design, the Sonetto's sing beautifully. Imaging, detail, separation, and easy placement are strong qualities. And their look speaks for itself.

I very recently heard the AudioSolutions Figuro M speakers. From Italy.

Not exactly cheap at $7500, but they sounded like they could compete with speakers at double the money.

Not to mention their finish looked like speakers costing a lot more.

I believe they’re from Lithuania.

Pity that there only seem to be four dealers at the moment in the USA

Vandersteens - all of them. I honestly prefer the 2s to the 3s, even though the 3s are more accurate, and the 2s with a pair of the subs over the 5s, for the same reason.

Funny, I prefer the 1s over the 2s.
