Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price)


The aim of this thread is to create a list of speakers that people enjoy and recommend and to organise the speakers into a list based on their MSRP. Please recommend speakers that you have personally heard or own and enjoy. I will add the names of the users who recommend a speaker next to the speaker name (and if someone already recommended the speaker you had in mind please feel free to recommend it again because I will add your name as well).

Please feel free to include gear that was used to listen to your recommendation and some impressions (although you do not have to).

This list may be useful to new buyers to get a general sense of popular models to help guide what to audition during the purchase process.

@modtactical - Shilling for @audiotroy here too!  Same post on audioshark and avsforums.
I just replaced my 803D1 with a pair of Revel F208 and they are amazing much more detail more in depth 1000 - 5000 range also looked at a set of Focal Aria 948 liked those also I know Focal has released again some more electra 1028 Be and 1038 Be great value for the money
In the $1000 - $5000 range, while that is a wide range in that price band, my personal choice is the Dynaudio Special 40. Especially if looking for standmounts. I auditioned many standmounts in that range, and for my listening preference it was far and away the right choice. Have a pair in two different residences. 
I still love my Harbeth C7es3.  Great speaker for live concerts and electronic music.  Vocals are also great.   3400. dollars.
