They are arguably in the top of the class along with some other brands. The 10 t's although good are not in the same league.

As to speakers cheaper than the 10ts used that sound better..try a set of dunlavy athenas if you can find them. I think they smoked the 10ts in every catagory (i was about a day a way from getting the aerials when i found the dunlavys ) and they look better than the rest of the dunlavy line IMO. Since dunlavy went south the prices used went to the floor but the speakers are still killer.
