High value, giant killer speakers?


What speakers have you heard at any price did you find are fairly priced or a great deal and competed with offerings much more expensive (2x, 3x, 4x etc)?

I believe they’re from Lithuania.

Several reviews out there, including this one:

Pity that there only seem to be four dealers at the moment in the USA

Vandersteens - all of them. I honestly prefer the 2s to the 3s, even though the 3s are more accurate, and the 2s with a pair of the subs over the 5s, for the same reason.
Funny, I prefer the 1s over the 2s.
If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, and trust your ears more than you trust reviewers, may I recommend a DIY approach?
Tremendous community of people to help guide you, places to buy drivers, custom cabinet makers, you name it.


+1 for Magnepan .7, but them new, they’re a nightmare to repair. I swapped amps but today they’re running with a mint B&K 2220 I bought for 250$. Ordered in the same color that my room’s walls to get WAF. But depends on your music and the source, mine being Bluenode 2i with Tidal straight into the amp...
