High value, giant killer speakers?


What speakers have you heard at any price did you find are fairly priced or a great deal and competed with offerings much more expensive (2x, 3x, 4x etc)?

I very recently heard the AudioSolutions Figuro M speakers. From Italy.

Not exactly cheap at $7500, but they sounded like they could compete with speakers at double the money.

Not to mention their finish looked like speakers costing a lot more.
I believe they’re from Lithuania.

Several reviews out there, including this one:

Pity that there only seem to be four dealers at the moment in the USA

Vandersteens - all of them. I honestly prefer the 2s to the 3s, even though the 3s are more accurate, and the 2s with a pair of the subs over the 5s, for the same reason.
Funny, I prefer the 1s over the 2s.
If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, and trust your ears more than you trust reviewers, may I recommend a DIY approach?
Tremendous community of people to help guide you, places to buy drivers, custom cabinet makers, you name it.
