Answer 3

I personally like JBL's.  I use them allot in with my company.  I work in AV industry, and let me tell you one time I was working in front of the stage and (soldering some wires) and when they were testing the speakers they played some CD with a voice intro and it kinda startled me because it sounded like the voice was coming from some one standing in front of me.  And I looked up to see who was talking to me I realized it was the speakers.  And the music sounded like I was with the musicians when they recorded it.  The two subs under the stage were so powerful that when it was turned up you could see the sound waves(vibrations) in a bottle of water sitting on the pulpit.

I have a nice set of Roland speakers.I don't have to turn them up very much to get complaints from neighbors who live 5 houses down.

Answer 9

Kef aren't really that expensive, even their top of the range speakers.

They don't compare with something like the Egglstone Works 'Ivy', which retail at £75,000 a pair.

Esoteric speakers can sell for over £100,000 a pair.  As you can see, you don't actually have a really expensive taste in speakers at all...

Answer 12

Hi, Scottie. I am still listening to a pair of Rogers Studio 1 loudspeakers from England, which i purchased in 1984.I have not heard anything better with similar specs.They are a 3 way bass reflex design.They have a very flat frequency response of 45 to 20K HZ  plus or minus 2 DB.

The drivers are a 200mm "bextrene" bass/mid cone made by Audax to Rogers' specifications. A Celestion HF 1300 tweeter. A Modified KEF T27 super tweeter.

There is a bass reflex loaded port with tube insert resonator.  

The power handling rating is  300 watts rms.

These are very "neutral sounding" loudspeakers.Don't be put off by their age, few speakers can even match them today.They are happy with all types of music from heavy rock to classical.They do not have foam attached to the bass/mid driver,therefore they do not rot  and have to be replaced.

These speakers were used by the BBC as studio monitors,before they were commercially available.
