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

@thecarpathian , It's a deal! . 

I have been ambivalent about posting this since i saw this thread as i like to avoid anything related to death at this point in my life, but i feel obligated to add this post to the others here as it is meant to honor the memory of the most genuine and kind person that i ever met in this business, and in all other phases of my life....Mr Rick Craig....Selah Audio....in Garner, North Carolina.... although Rick was originally from Indiana...While I only knew him for a few months, he was a man passionate about designing speakers that were unique, high quality, and that just plain sounded great.....i own his Ceramica Towers and Ceramica Center....actually his entry level floorstanders....3-way, front ported, RAAL ribbon tweeter, 4" SB Acoustics ceramic midrange, 2 6.5" SB ceramic woofers....beautiful figured walnut enclosure with specially made chamfered base....also have the Ceramica center with the same drivers in a sealed enclosure....best center speaker i've ever had.....not only wouldn't i ever sell these, i don't even think TMR could come up with an accurate and proper asking price....I met Rick when after 2 months one of my woofers had a problem, and instead of just sending me a replacement driver, he drove all the way from NC to my house in northeastern MD to replace it...wouldn't take a dime for his effort, or even a glass of water....such an incredibly nice man that was an incredible asset to our collective audio community...just don't see this anymore these days.....perhaps others may remember Selah Audio and Mr. RIck Craig...a true audiophile, outstanding speaker designer and absolutely wonderful person that is a shining credit to the human race.....miss you buddy, rest in peace.....hope this causes some fond remembrances of Rick for those of us lucky enouth to have known him,... and  to those who are even more lucky if you happen to own one of his creations!

My Bache Audio Tribeca speakers replaced a pair of Audio Physic Tempo Plus speakers. The Tempo's have pinpoint imaging, but the sense of scale was a bit smaller. I found placement of these speakers to be critical to get the sound dialed in. The Tribeca's are more holographic and have a bigger sound. Whether they are toed in or not didn't 't seem to make too much difference. I went back and forth with both speakers in my room and the Bache's just beat them. 

Other speakers I demoed at that time were the Harbeth 30.2, the Golden Ear Triton 2, Monitor Audio and Pure Audio Project, Lawrence Audio, (can't remember the model numbers). I also had Quad 57s at the same time and sold those.

How about Scansonic? Baby Raidho speakers from the same company and designer (or at least that was the case when last I checked). They tend to need a sub but so do many other speakers. In exchange you get beautiful clarity and precision. 

I'd also submit Daedalus as being not as well known as they should be. Stunning cabinets, organic sound. 

@fastricky I'll never part with my Shahinian Obelisks, I've yet to encounter a speaker I like as much.

Agreed, I love mine. But they can be challenging to place in a room, challenging to drive perfectly. And I recently relocated to a 100-year old small house, really a cottage. The Obs just don't work well here.
