Here is a third vote for Reimer speakers. I have the floor standing Wind River GS model. I compared them to the Maggie, Merlins w/ BAM, Osborne, Montana, Linn and Coincidents. I love them and have no regrets! And Rick is a great guy to deal with and learn from about speaker design.
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
Some manufacturers have the financial means to plaster magazines with ads. For other, they are still at the word-of-mouth stage, and many will not get past this line.
I was wondering what less-than-well-known, or obscure speaker out there stand out as particularly gifted both in sonics and value ? Could be in any price category....

ATC is not well known but if it wasn't for B&W I think I would have bought them. Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 2 way for $328 is very good. I think everyone should have a pair of some single driver speakers, even if they only cost $60. It's pretty cool what they do with vocals: Creative Sound ELF1.0 |
GR Research, a DIY company out of Texas is suppose to offer an incredible speaker called the Alpha LS. Apparently they only use top-of-the-line drivers and cross-overs in their speakers. You can either build the Alpha yourself, or have GR do it for you. Another Audiogon poster thinks the Alpha LS outperforms Pipedreams. I can't comment on their sound quality because I haven't heard them, perhaps others on this board can elaborate on GR Research. http://www.gr-research.com/AlphaLS/Alpha.htm |
