The Sovereigns are now some great old classics IMO, but they're so huge & heavy (not to mention they cost a small fortune new) that they're hardly mainstream. We used to be in awe of these 375 lb. monsters at the CES demo's; when driven by Spectral electronics they were typically amazing. I've heard the Crown Princes & Black Knights as well; these are actually affordable & smaller-enough that they can be handled without a forklift.
You may be aware of Dunlavy's line, which are US born by Mr. John Dunlavy himself. Haven't heard any of these, but many people really like his speakers, although the designer himself has raised quite a controversy or two over the years...
