Everyone has their choices and opinions. Bang for the buck speaker has to be Paradigm Studio 100's. Legacy Focus, Whisper too much bass. I mean come on why in the world do you need all those bass drivers. Their cabinets are beautiful. My favorite has to be Tyler Acoustics reference series. I have heard his monitors and Taylos. Awesome detailed speakers. A customer of his has the Legacy Focus and he bought the Taylos. No comparison!!!
