High value, giant killer speakers?

I think the Kii Three has a very competitive price since it contains an amp and a dac.

That said we as a community probably have too too many ideas of what a system should sound like to really have generic "gigant killers"

Everyone's favorite is a "giant killer".

I agree somewhat with this. That said one new favourite is Dutch & Dutch 8. About $10k with amps and dac built in. I hope I can save money for those.
