Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?

Nestorovic Labs 5AS. Not very well known, get nothing but excellent reviews on any audio forum. They have always sounded so musical and perfect, they are still my forever speaker. The original owner paid $3600 in 1986.

I dunno, maybe this'll get a few laughs or snickers, but here goes.  I have a fairly entry level high-end 5.1 HT system - Marantz electronics, Mirage mains, Paradigm everything else, and I never cease to be wowed by the Mirage OM-9 mains when used for the purpose I bought them for - live concert videos.  That sentiment has been echoed by a few audiophile friends, including one who sold equipment at a high-end audio store in my area and introduced me to Mirage.  Critics say the "somewhere over there" imaging isn't to their liking, and that's fair, but when do you get the kind of precise imaging everyone likes to tout at a live, amplified event like a jazz/blues/rock concert?  That's what I built my system for - reproducing the live concert experience as much as possible in my living room, and nothing I've heard does that better than the Mirage bi/omnipolar speakers, the OM-9s in particular.  The amount of first-class sound they deliver for the price they listed for is the bargain of the century for reproducing the live experience.

Closest to "LIVE" that I ever heard. Roberto Guererro had them paired up with his AGD amps and  the musicality of the OCEAN WAY EUREKA Speakers was simply stunning !

Yes, OCEAN Way Audio makes the most incredible loudspeakers capable of recreating a stunning, realistic  image, and with the AGD amps, the holographic  results of the sound stage, are above and beyond anything in the market today.and probably for many years to come.

They are designed and built by a 6 Grammy winner Allen Sides, among the top sound engineers in the world, an in the USA...Burbank California.

P.s. Alberto Guerra....not Roberto Guerrero ;)

Philharmonic BMR monitors or towers.  

exceptionally clear midrange and wide dispersion in all frequencies make the soundstage spacious and well defined.
