12.7 What speakers should I consider in the $XXX/pair price range?

This is probably the most commonly asked question on rec.audio,

or countries.

If you really want recommendations and are willing to listen to

do steer you to some very good equipment in their
frequently-updated list of "RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS".
