Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?

Nice to see Fritz speakers get mentions here.  I ended up with a pair for my main system after reading so many good things about them.

Was also able to visit him and listen to a couple models with him.  Very nice gentleman and wish him all the best.

I’ll second Qualio speakers. Finnicky about amps but amazing once you find the right pairing 

My Canton Reference 7K will likely be my forever speakers. Have had Revel, SF, Dunlavy, Thiel, Focal and probably others. The Canton’s have a way of bringing life to music that others missed.  German designed and manufactured. Very little footprint in the US.

@mysteriousmrm +1 on Spatial. My M3 Turbos were fantastic until I just saw them for financial reasons period but they are resolving while not being distant at all. really convinced me of how good open baffles could be.

Volti Audio Razz for me. I've heard a lot of big name speakers in the under 10K range, and I have not heard anything better for my tastes. I've paired them with reasonably priced tube and solid state amps, and they shine with everything. These don't sound like any other horn speakers. If I ever upgrade I will go with Volti's higher priced models.
