Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
I would say Royd Audio from England. I know of only 3 dealers of the speakers between Canada and the US. Royd is a small manufacturer of speakers and are not very well known in the US but they do have a cult following in Japan. I have a pair of Do...

Wharfedale Emerald 93 Opinions
I forgot to mention that Wharfedale is now owned by IAG, which owns Qaud also. I think they are trying to bring back this speaker name. 
Wharfedale Emerald 93 Opinions
I own two sets of Wharfedales - Diamond 7.2's and the MFM-1's. They are not bad speakers for the money, especially the Diamonds - read a review on them.http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/wharf72e.htmlDave 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
I think you could get as many answers as people on this forum. I think this is a 'non-question'. I think if the speaker is of decent quality and setup properly, one should get a decent image from it.Dave 
Opinions - Best ever Adcom model???
What about pre-amp/amp combos. I am in the process of acquiring an Adcom GFP-1 preamp to go along with a 1979 Mitsubishi DA-A10DC amp (dno't laugh - it is a powerhouse amp!!).Dave 
Japanese/Asian Speakers???

Speaker Suggestion for teenage pre-stereophile
For around 500 dollars I will suggest looking at the Monitor Audio Silver S1 bookshelf speaker - very nice sounding and nice looking speaker.Dave

Do you floorstanding or stand-mounted speakers - the Thiels are floorsatnders but you could really only get the smaller one used for that price.What are you lookng for in a speaker - what characteristics do you like or don't like.I really haven't ... 
Small floorstander recommendations
I have some others to add to the list - if you can find them. They are: Rega Alya and Neat Loudspeaker's Elite. They are around the same price point as the others (maybe a little more - in line with the Linn Ninka's) and are really nice sounding a... 
Little Know Speaker Builders
How about Royd Loudspeakers from England? They are handbuilt and sound fantastic for the money.They do retail in shops but there are not that many dealers in the States.Dave 
Speakers for Naim?
If you lurk around the Naim forums - Royd Loudspeakers get mentioned quite often. Great speakers, nice sound and match well with Naim electronics. 
Has anyone heard the Swan Diva line of Speakers?
David99,You can buy the tweeter at Audioexpress as well as the metal cone woofers - they are HiVi units.Dave
