what are some "exotic" speakers?

[leonsv 10+ year member]

so i'm interested in seeing some "exotic" component speakers that are almost never mentioned....so to start off here are some restrictions..

nothing you can buy at:

walmart

bestbuy

circuit city

woofersetc

sonicelectronix

onlinecarstereo

or any other large car audio stores

so basically nothing mainstream.....and i mean mainstream as ones that are often talked about on the forum, like alpine, jl, polk, rainbow, mb quart, kicker, focal, dls, dynaudio, morel etc....

and these have to be actual components....no diy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

hmmm.....here are examples of the kind of stuff i want to see....

hybrid audio technologies lagatia and sebra (which has not come out yet)

ology audio

Phase revolution

Phass audio

etc

max fidelity is a good one, hertz also

not so much seas, scanspeak, vifa, or brax.....

expensive....but still talked about commonly

Kind of hard to eliminate rainbow, focal, dls, dynaudio, morel, etc in the criteria. Theyve all been proven to excel in the component set arena.

Others like Scan, SEAS,MF,Vifa,etc arent widely used as sets, unless under another manufacturers name that youve already dismissed.

Then get yourself some Milles. I have plans to drop a set in the wifeys grocery getter soon. Their accomodation plan is very nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I have their tweeters in my car and love them... A bit harsh at 5k and 8k but very silky and smooth.....

ATC and Accuton aren't really talked about much. maybe cause they are expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

Why limit yourself to exotic speakers ?? For exclusivity?? Just because they are exotic doesnt make them better then anything mainstream....honestly how many people have utopia Be's, or the dynaudio esotar, or f#1 status, or genesis absolutes, or rainbow reference series?? they are all mainstream(realitive to your words) and very good speakers......really better then alot of the "exotics" out there....dont limit your self for exclusivity, because it isnt always best....

i really want some but can't drop that much lol.....how much are they? i hear they are $1000

anyways, i'm not saying that rainbow, dls, morel and all those companies arn't great, all i'm saying is that they are talked about on the forum a lot and in my view, they are "mainstream" for audio folks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif so now i'm trying to find some exotic stuff that are rarely talked about.
