Midfi Sleeper Suggestions...2nd systems, etc....

For years I thought Infinity was the go to for above average(and sometimes beyond) affordable, well-designed mainstream products...over the years I have owned Interludes, Alphas, etc...as well as offerings by Athena,Polk,Paradigm, etc...however my recent acquisition of some Boston Acoustics VR series from roughly a decade ago have really caught my attention...any other forgotten gems from this era that push well beyond their weight class?...Primarly interested in easy to obtain, mainstream suggestions...familiar with ADS, Spica, Dahlquist, etc...
