5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013?

I owned the Zu's for 6 months and we just stopped listening to
music. Rare in our household. Not sure why. Had them with
a Luxman class A amp and a Mastersound 300 BPSE.

They are popular so you should probably give them a try. You
can always sell them but resale value is poor. I got hooked
in the marketing and wanted to love them but it didn't happen.
Too bad. Sort of a Bose experience, but better.

To keep it fair the two models I owned are no longer for sale by Zu. They must have recognized the error and pulled them. I bought one pair at a higher price and the other cheap. Lost lots of money on both sales.

Good frat house speakers.

@River251: I own the Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOnes and the KEF Reference Anniversary LS50s. In the past I have had Dynaudio, Vienna Acoustics, TAD, Volent and Sonus Faber.
The Linn I was referring to is Linn Audio of New Hampshire, not the UK Linn.

Thanks Tom and thanks everyone, too many promising speakers to comment on all, lots of names I have wanted to check out.

Tom yes it was UK Linn I listened to; nice system technology, but the sound was a bit sterile I felt.

I will simply have to take a trip next summer as I said up the coast. I wonder how the east coast would be? West is good, San Diego, and cities all the way up to San Francisco. And you can sleep on the beach.

I can take the One SCs with me to have a consistent benchmark.

I have been thinking though that the One SCs might be OK with a sub. 14x18 is not that huge. I don't use a sub in my study 11x12 or so and it's fine. The ceiling will be high at 14 though.

Thanks all,
Jim
