The 2003 guide reviews Bookshelf speakers(page 301). Again Bic dv62si scored higher in accuracy than B & W 602 s2 and much better than klipsch SB3s I own. The B & W runs 550 and the klipsch 450 while Bic at 200 and discounted on net a number of places for 110-120/pr.Pioneer, Bose and cambridge sound also have high rated speakers at low cost. I realize that CR is not the bible but they do test these things. I note also that Sony is making well reviewed reasonable speakers with Kevlar cones like B & W. It is afterall just a piece of plastic. Its becoming obvious that good speaker design parameters readily available and no reason why one mfg cant knock off an approximation of anothers for a fraction of the cost.It may be time for us to consider some of the alternatives to high priced cadre of names thrown around on this forum. As a bonus, a lot of these low cost, high value speakers are made by well established companies with a excellent track history....the highest rated on the list is the Pioneer S-DF3-k for 350/pr prior to discount which can be considerable. When is the last time someone touted Pioneer or Sony speakers on this forum? Hey, when the 57 chevy came out, they were seen as low cost mass market entries and became classics...By the way, I am among the guilty and have been looking at B & W, Paradigm etal myself. For the cost of a couple of meals out, I might try those Bics and report on them.
