High value, giant killer speakers?

Everyone's favorite is a "giant killer". Has to be in order to assuage the restless ego. Heaven forbid you actually spent money on an average performer! Audiophiles need to think they hit a home run with their system while others hit a double, or perhaps a triple.  

Imo, when you ignore major shortcomings in design and performance you have automatically disqualified your "giant killer". A purported giant killer that can't do under 35Hz +/-3dB? Really? I think not. A panel that sounds dynamically dead compared to a horn as a giant killer? Uh, no. 

 Just because you happened to get a speaker sounding terrific to you in no way means it's inherently superior to any given other speaker.  :)

Gosh, that wasn't too insulting.....

“...to assuage the restless ego.” Whoa! Hey! What the ding dong?!

Oh, never mind. He ended it with a smiley face so it’s ok to tell everyone their opinions are wrong....

Absolutely every other poster here has been supportive and encouraging. Does it feel good to poop in the punch bowl? Funny that you are the first to mention ‘ego’. I wonder why that is?
