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!

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.

PSB. They have something for every application, are easily found used here, and enjoy a good reputation.

Since you don't care about looks and the quality of the cabinet (no offense to your woodworking skills, which may be considerable for all I know), I'd think a very good DIY kit would be the best value. There are a number out there.
