Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?

Bought a pair of Odyssey Kismet speakers several years ago. Under 4K at the time. Definitely competitive up to 10K alternatives I heard.

+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.

My gato fm6 were a find for me. I have tried to replace the 14k retail. I paid 10k. Nothing beats them at that price point very happy 

Tonian Labs Oriaco G6 stand-mount speakers.  Lively and timely with accurate tonal balance.  To my ears, instruments sound natural and more like themselves.

Tony Minassian is a small manufacturer located in SoCal.  Makes great recordings too.

I used to own Fritz speakers - those would meet that description....
