JM Reynaud doesn't get the press they should (aside from Listener magazine). I own both the Trentes and the Twin MkIIs... Both are exceptional speakers for the money and they have no equal in the "toe-tapping" catagory. 'very musical line of speakers...I never find myself thinking "nice speaker performance".. I just keep thinking "wow, I love this record..."... I hear the Offrandes are great, but at $3800+, I'm not there yet.
Spendor 1/2's. These speakers have with stood the test of time.
Way too many positive reviews (and sales) for the Spendor 1/2's not to be considered an all time great.
1)Kharma Ceramique 1 (probably best dynamic speaker period at any price)
2)Soundlab A1
3)Avantgarde Duo
4)Consider Silverline Audio, very impressive for the money. You can't go wrong with any of the above. Pure Musical Utopia when coupled with the right electronics and wires.
I was really impressed by the Avantgarde Uno speakers a few years ago at the CES Show being driven by a $125,000 Audio Note 300B power amp. It was so nice I could have listened for hours. My dream is to someday own a pair of Avantgarde speakers (when I hit it big on the stock market, which may be awhile).
