ACI Sapphire. I'm surprised no one has mentioned ACI yet.
For 25 years they chosen not to advertise but to make their reputation on word of mouth. For my money the ACI Sapphire is a fantastic value. Scan-speak tweeter, Vifa woofer and extremely solid enlosure. It compares favorably to the Totem Mani-2, and although the Mani outperforms it, it's also over $2000 more.
I also own the Quad 11L, which as someone said, is not well known in the US. It's a decent speaker and good value. It seems well engineered and performs beyond what you'd expect a speaker of its size.
With the Quad 11Ls I was pleasantly surprised. With the ACIs I was blown away.
