Boutique or Big Brand?
One thing I'd add that hasn't been mentioned- when you narrow it down, message a few members that have owned the speakers you are looking at. I always reply and those that I've contact reply too. It can be a good way to get a little deeper and may... 
What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
I found Sugden harsh. Great image but no thanks.  
What brand speaker is this?

@bhvf Yes cool stuff. I appreciate how the written content provides contextual meaning to the items themselves. I'm sure having grown up in NJ and NYC in the 70's and 80's ignites my interest.  
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?
At one time Verity sold the Parsifal as a monitor. I wouldn't call it warm, but it skillfully avoids all the pitfalls that make a speaker cool, while maintaining the detail.   
Power Distribution

It's a certain sound right? I've been curious about how the wave guide could take over at like 1000 hz in some models? I like mids with PUNCH but I've also heard pure horns sound so beautiful that I would sacrifice that punch. Is that kind of the ... 
Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
"For optimum bass performance, this unit must be used on our 40kg spiked sand-filled stands," which place them at an optimized height of 26". The factory stands will set you back a Royal $790, but Goldstein has sourced a cost-effective replacemen... 
About users with hidden agendas
Interesting. I didn't catch these patterns or behaviors in those threads because I didn't read through them. They're the type of threads where people just get on a rant and someone disagrees, etc. The only threads I have less time for are the ones...

I'm not sure of the intent with TD on this thread, but I think he may be winning this battle. Is the opposition saying that he starts posts and tries to sway people to his products without identifying himself as a designer? I think he is posting t... 
JBL L112
Newer models will be more accurate but really really careful to chase that quality. That's where some lose the music and become audiophiles.  It's a slippery slope.  
Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?
I’ve gone back and forth between Devore and Verity since 2003. Verity seems to have what "I" am looking for in the Otello at 93db. They go down to a real solid 30hz. The presence range is where I feel like some like, Devore, others prefer Verity. ...
