Default Your favorite Top line Speaker Manufacturer

I personally really enjoy a number of speaker lines which are not quite as mainstream, yet however I had an aching curiosity as to whom are your "commercial" favorites?

Mine comes through as being the Focal Utopia line

but others that come to mind that possibly sound as good are:
Sonus Faber, Dynaudio & Monitor Audio (Plantium series)

But 'B&W' and 'Final' are up there as well.

Voted SF, although I do love Quad, and Dynaudio is great once you get over their 'beginner' line...honestly once you get over $10k with most of those brands listed, you will do ok

I have an old pair of KEF Q60's and love them to bits, however, a mate has a really nice pair of Quad's... and my old B&W's were nice, up there with Mordaunt Short...

You called them "top line" one place and "big name" another, so I don't know if it's the most fame or quality your after, but if it's the later then GamuT.

I voted for Quad as my favorite on your list. Though I'd put Magnepan pretty high up, and I'm still enamored of my ProAc 2.5 clones. Not originals, but I imagine they're wonderful, too. Though maybe a bit esoteric, I lust for a pair of Lowthers or Supravox field coil drivers.

You might want to consider adding an "other" choice to your poll. I really enjoy Joseph Audio speakers.
