+1 for the Odyssey Kismet speakers. I have had a pair for 2 years now, and they are excellent all-around speakers. Full disclosure, I have mine listed because in the end I have a preference for horns, which are on the way, but they are the best direct radiator speakers that I have owned, and the parts and build quality are exceptional.
Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?
I have a Gato Fm6. My reference for last 10 years. Sounds amazing. Designer used to work for Gamut. Amazing clarity. Great open midrange and vapor like treble that’s detailed , transparent and vapor like! What are others?
