What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned?

Underrated

Ohm Walsh, Salk Soundscape 10 and 12 (out of production), JBL M2 (uses DSP and pro amps, but damn), legacy Focus SE, Spatial M3S Turbo

Overrated

Paradigm Persona's, B+W Diamond Series, McIntosh Speakers (though not sure anyone rates them highly), Focal Sopra 2,3

Disappointing - Anything by Zu

And just because a speaker is 20-30k... doesn't mean its good.

I'll take the top end Salk's (9.5, SS10, SS12) all day long over the Wilson Yvette, any Paradigm Persona and a few others all day long.

To me, the Wilson Yvette is merely "ok" and way overpriced.  Now the Sasha 2, with the soft dome tweeter, used at 20k... that's a damn fine speaker.  At 36k... ah that's overpriced.

We get you think Salks are "merely" ok... but it's really really hard to find a thread on any page, or a review by anyone that doesn't think the world of what they get for the money, which to me accounts for an "underrated" classification by many.

At 20k plus... I would EXPECT a speaker to be phenomenal (though many are not).  Heck, the Persona's to many fall in that category.

Now in the stuff you endlessly push out here, I think the Legacy Focus SE is a heck of a speaker, and for what they can be found for used can be a great bargain.

I think the ATC stuff sounds damn good, but it's just so freaking expensive for what you get.  The 50's (both active and passive, but particularly Active) are pretty amazing.
