What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers?
I have to agree with 04-05-06: Rkeman above - any of the Linkwitz speakers will meet and exceed your expectations (if you can find them used, or build the kit)... but... so will the Emerald Physics and Spatial Audio speakers. Or, you can have your... 
Best budget speakers for near-field/small space
My choice, without any question, would be the WaveTouch Audio Grand Tetons (small, standmount monitor) - for a small room / area - if you can find them used to fit your budget.Simply incredible, unbelievable "live, life-like" sound!Second choice w... 
Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ?
I have 3 for you:1. Magnestand (mofified Maggies)2. WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton's3. Linkwitz Orion's or LX521'sIf you want a real "giant slayer" for a small room (or even a large room): you will not find anything that will beat the WaveTouch Grand... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Without a doubt... my choics would be the Linkwitz Orion's or LX521's - just incredible in all respects!Only caveats are: they aren't pretty, so you may have to dedicate a separate room to them to appease your wife... and... they require an active... 
Designer Hall of Fame
I "second" the comments of 04-28-10: Gchemie above!Without question... Seigfried Linkwitz merits the "Designer Hall of Fame" - for designing the best sounding speakers available... in his Orion's and LX521's - without question! 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I must "second" the opinion of 02-25-08: Amandarae in his response to Steve's question of what he thinks of the Orion's. Without question... the best speakers I've had, or heard, are the Linkwitz Orion's and Linkwitz LX521's. They "have it all" at... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I've heard many of the greats... but... the best I've heard are the Linkwitz Orion's or LX521's - without question!Certainly... the best for the money... especially if you build them from a kit from Madisound.com, or manage to buy them in the afte... 
Revel F208s, F52s or Nola Contenders?
The Triton 1's have outstanding staging and imaging - very holographic sound! I'd describe them as "disappearing" in a panorama of sound. Very "Maggie" like. But... their highs are less prominent than their bass and mids - which tend to overwhelm ... 
A Must Hear under $5,000
+1 regarding the Maggies 1.6, 1.7, 3.6, 3.7... and... maybe the new MG12 w DWM bass panels. When properly set up with custom stands, proper electronics, and maybe a custom crossover - there is very little that can better them in And... if you real... 
Review: Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton, Piano Black Monitor
As I've posted elsewhere... I've had my GT's about 6 months... and, yes... I think I do like them as well as my Magnestand 1.6's ("Gunned Maggies) - maybe better. The Magnestand 1.6's also sound superb in all respects... but... the GT's are more e...

Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
I've had the GT's for about 6 months... and have driven them with JC-1's, A-21, Atmosphere M60's, and Carver M180's. Without a doubt, they are some of the best sounding speakers I've had, or heard. Simply superb in all respects. And... I love all ...

Anyone listened to LaHave Speakers
Though belated... I have the Melas also - a true "World-class work of art" in both appearance and sound quality - which rival the TAD monitors for a lot smaller "investment." A term I use for a piece of audio gear, which you would expect to keep a... 
Review: Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton, Piano Black Monitor
Do you still prefer the Teton's to your Maggies? Or... did you ever???
