What deserves more attention on Audiogon?


There are some current lines and products that get a lot of buzz here on Audiogon and others that are well known otherwise that do not.

Klipsch (other than current Heritage line) and KEF are two examples. These seem to have more of an A/V focus these days, but how do these and other more well known product lines that are popular elsewhere but do not get a lot of buzz here on Audiogon really stack up sound wise?

Anyone finding any great performers that are popular elsewhere but not on A'gon worth sharing that might not get much love here otherwise?

If you have heard some underdog product that you think can compete with the more common "high end" type products here, please indicate what you have heard or read that makes you think so.

Thanks.

I was kidding about the Ohms! You are well documented in your love of Ohm. BTW, I just picked up a good condition pair of Walsh 4s.

All my speakers date from 1990s or earlier designs. The EPIs are very listenable but compared to modern loudspeakers they lack high end sparkle, overall resolution and precision soundstage/imaging. They have tight, acoustic suspension type bass and are tonally smooth, but they don't stop and start on transients like modern designs. I think they sound great on classic rock and other normal type recordings. I should probably replace the crossover components for better sound.
