Overrated:
Dynaudio, Totem, Audio Note ( especially price for this kind of 2-way monitors in poor cabinet )

Underrated:
many active speakers : Backes&Muller, Geithain
they play so much better than passive in similar price , and You dont need any ( expensive ) amp
Goldenear Reference are so overrated.
$8500 for speakers is still ton of money (to me at least)
I absolutely loved their sound, BUT I think the Triton ones are amazing and sound close enough to the TRef for most people without paying a 60% premium. Law of diminishing returns kicking in big time.

I had them side by side for three months playing with Hegel H160 and Rogue Cronus Magnum II / Ayre Codex and did not see a huge difference that some reviewers did. But then again, I ain’t selling full page ads either !!! 



Most overrated:

Focal sopra No3. 

Most underrated:

SCANSONIC MB 3.5B, followed  closely by
