Vapor Sound Audio/tons of Value for $$$$
Have not heard nor do I own Vapor speakers, but I find there speakers to be cutting edge in looks and design. Vapor also has a loyal following of happy customers.For me with the recent price increases,the extended wait times and lack of communicat... 
Wilson speakers/to people who own them etc
