Dali and Monitor Audio definitely need to be added to that list. I now own Monitor Audio GS60s and they easily beat the B&W speakers in the same price range IMO.

And the Dali Helicon (not my personal cup of tea) are some of the best speakers for the money. Talking used on Agon here though as the price increase makes things more difficult.

EDIT: been drinking and somehow missed the MA selection. My bad.

EDIT 2: I must really be hammered as I miss the "Big Name" part of the thread. Did not see it in the main title though. Dali is a fairly big name in the world but not really in the USA (yet)

B&W 800 series all the way. I love the looks of the Sonus Faber homage series, though. Too bad they cost almost as much as the Cremona violins they are named after...

Voted B&W for their outstanding 802D speakers.

If it were on the list, I'd tip my hat towards Wilson Audio as well.
