Best Value Speakers??


Hello, I'm going to soon begin the search for some speakers. Anyways, I've checked out the various companies and it seems like you pay so much for the name of the speaker and the quality of the cabinet.
I don't care anything about those two elements! Basically, I'm looking for a no frills kind of speaker where you're just paying for the musical attributes of the speaker and nothing else kind of like NAD products(lol). What brand of speaker do you think offers the most bang for the buck? All input is welcomed!

I agree with Drubin and Sd re Vandersteen speakers as being great value(s). Specifically, I would recommend the 2Ce sig., MSRP $1500. Cheers. Craig
Maggie 1.6QR vs. Vandy 2CE SIG vs. Meadowlark Kestrel; I ought the Kestrels. JMHO, YMMV, LMNOP.
Bang for buck? I'd have to say Paradigm. Unbelievable value for the money. I have a pair of Monitor 5v2's bought new for $475. Smokes many higher priced speakers I've owned through the years. While there are many great speakers on the market, I don't any touch Paradigm for "value" on the dollar.
As long as you do not care about looks, the Vandersteens are an excellent value. I have been a long term Vandersteen owner. I have also recently read two good reviews of Axiom speakers which look interesting for the money.

Don't buy until you've read Audioreview.com reviews on
EFE speakers! This line of speakers slam dunks retail competition in quality and price. I own several pairs.

Email Ed Frias for details. The guy is a master at making speakers. His crossover design is exceptional. If you are on a budget, try his DIY speaker kit. For $350/pair, they are unbelievable speakers !

Good luck.
