I made the sub boxes for my truck 15 years ago.. it was a pain figuring out the volume considering they couldn't just be normal squarish boxes.

Most speaker design is in the crossover and cabinet.
Except for Bose, most of their design is in the marketing.
B.O.S.E - Bring Other Sound Equipment
Always been a JBL fan personally

Uh..... that doesn't go in any audiophile discussion. JBL isn't Bose but it's not even remotely audiophile either.

Never claimed to be one. Not a world I've been in very much.

Which, given some of my background, is quite unusual.

Yes. Even though BB sells them now. B+W go very high but have entry level too. Their too end speakers are $50K a pair!

I really liked the old Klipsch Models.

Yeah, my friend and I were wondering if B&W tanked as a company since they made something they could sell at Best Buy...
Reminds me of Webroot - it was sold for the longest time (maybe still is) as an upsell at BB. I refused to use anything sold there, they mostly only sold/pushed the crap that was crap and had high margins.
It wasn't until I was at a SpiceCorp with Webroot giving a demo that I learned about their journaling feature and gave them a fair shake.. I like them a lot now.

I've been a B+W user for decades. Not my favorite, that's Totem, but very good.

Check out Paradigm Reference for something awesome but affordable.

I have a pair of B&W in wall speakers on my wall mounted TV.. they sound pretty good.

Had my ceiling wired from builder, and threw up a 7.1, working on the .2 to piss off the neighbors. Some nice Polk 3 ways.
I still have to perfect the direction of some of them, but it's pretty freaking loud. -
I got a pair of older Castle Durham speakers from Goodwill... they are amazing. Apparently they sold for something like 700GBP new, picked them up for $80 because the fronts of the cabinets are cosmetically ruined (someone tried to glue, then nail on the screens).

Wait, someone actually spent a couple more dollars to do something right? I need to go sit down for a few minutes, can't fathom reality for a bit.

@scottalanmiller Those B&W's you left us were pretty great.
I think overall, if I had to prick a brand that I like the most, I'd go with either Magnepan or Acoustic Research. Maybe KEF. I got to play with a few pairs of Q-100's in an array, all bi-amped and set for different frequency ranges, and that was fantastic. But above all, I love it when speakers have a good soundstage, and good instrument placement. I've not ever heard anything that images like a pair of Magnepans. Even their cheapest model, the MMG, images better than any box speaker I've personally heard, and better than most Electrstatics costing upwards of twice the price. My current favorites are the MG III-A's, but only because those are the best ones I can afford, or find the room for, because MAN do Magnepans need space to breathe.
