Absolutely!
2 or 3 that compete with the "high-priced spread" at a fraction of the price are these:
Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton's / Antero's
Linkwitz Orion's or LX521's
AudioKinesis Dream Maker's / Jazz Module's
Lahave Audio Mela's
All of these have incredible sound quality that compete with the best available.
However, because they are "obscure," they are more difficult to resell than the big brand names.
