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?

I've owned the Studio Electric M4 about six months.  I love these speakers.  Exactly the sound i was looking for in a small speaker.  

Great speakers , will never sell these.   

I’ll add Qualio and NSMT as a couple that get outstanding reviews and not all that well known. 

I believe the Buchardt E50 punches way above its price point. The best parts in a crossover I have ever seen. Soundwise, one of the best bookshelf speakers I have heard.

Fritz speakers. They just sound good

JM Reynaud Duet/Bliss speakers. Natural, laid back, cool soundstage9k

If you want a true bargain try DIY.  I built the Auricle and Continum bass module.  With upgraded crossover parts, wiring, and binding posts I'm in about $2k and some sweat equity.  I've heard better but not for under $10 grand.
