5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013?


Thinking about looking at speakers, but there are too many. What brands are the most popular? Please keep it to 5 or it defeats the purpose...thanks.

Hopefully it won't just be B&W, Magnepan, the usual suspects. Say, stars in the range 1000 to 4000 -ish.

Thanks.

Do you mean best selling among tube or SS listeners? 5
brands, to keep it simple, that I have owned are Reynaud,
Zu, Devore, Cerwin Vega, and Verity. I still have the Verity
and the Cerwin Vega.

I found the Cerwin Vega VS-120 at the swap shop at my local
dump. What a find! I powered them with an extra Nakamichi
TA-4A 100 WPC receiver for a while but came across a Sansui
331 receiver at the same swap shop. The Man upstairs was
really shining down on me that day! Hopefully someday he'll
bless me with a McIntosh MC-240.

The main source for my vintage dump system is a Marantz
Model 6100 with original cartridge! I wrestled it out of
some little kids arms, and it has brought the system to a
whole new level. I got the tear stains off with butcher
block conditioner.

My other system is a mix of Luxman, Verity, Ayre, Rel, with
a good bit of Nordost cables. I love the Verity line but
they aren't popular or best selling IMO. Wilson, I can't
stand, are very strong selling speakers. B&W is very
popular but I'm not a fan. Zu neither. Magnepans are
interesting, but I'd rather have a friend own them so I
could go listen sometimes.

I've never heard Proac but I think I'd like them. They are
kind of popular in certain circles. I miss the Reynaud's
sometimes. Glorious and seductive but not popular. Good
luck, it seems you have your work cut out for you.
Tyler - all models - call Ty Ladbrook and he'll advise you.
I've had D1s and D10s - they are great speakers and will fill your room and efficient enough for your amp.
Focal,makes some affordable models now. Ive heard great things about the Martin Logan Vantage.Dynaudio is a favorite of mine. Totem Acoustics. Kef.Klipsch...the list goes on
Brands I like: Thiel, Dynaudio, Totem, Aerial, Nola. And what about a bigger ProAc?
Evolution Acoustics, Vapor Audio, Selah, Linn, Clearwave and Salk. I have listened to all of them and I like something from all of them. I am an owner of one.
