They are tons of relatively good speakers and from all speakers types out there...
Why?
Because it does not takes only a genius to relatively make good one, this technology is mature ...
Anybody focusing on his favorite "brand name" and who want to impose it for everybody and for all rooms with all piece of gear is wrong.... Why?
Because the room and the gear+ speakers are a "team" each one must be adapted to the other ....
And this is acoustic science methods which make us able to adapt speakers to a room and more importantly make us able to tune the room for specfic speakers and for our specific ears....
"Brand name fetichism" is only our personal taste at best, reflecting our own needs, and ignorance at worst ....
The real question then is not what brand name speakers will take me to heaven, but nevermind the speakers type and brand name i will choose , how will i make it working at his optimal level and how my room acoustic can serve this goal ...
I can assure you that there is no comparison at all between a speaker in a treated and mechanically controlled room , before it and after it.... No comparison at all.... it is night and day for any speakers of any types ...
Acoustic/psycho-acoustic rule ? Why ?
Because we hear sounds which dont come from the gear so much than from our head/room....
Recorded sound is an acoustic perpective trade-off set of choices CONVEYED by the gear but TRANSLATED in the acoustic perspective of our room by our 2 ears/ brain/head....
Reproduction is a misleading word here...
When you hear any sound source you translate the resonant body of this sound source in a complex set of variable INFORMATIONS , quantitative one but more importantly qualitative one... No set of electronical measures is able to explain that and certainly not few measures numbers of a specs sheets from some gear company or from measuring tools fetichists...
