Underrated speaker brands

Just wondering what brands of speakers people think are underrated or are unknown but should be given some attention. I think of boston acoustic. It's not so much that people think they are crap, just that i hardly ever hear/read about them when discussing various brands. I've had very good experiences with their speakers but don't feel like they get a lot of respect/attention.
 
Polk LSi series, lots of performance for the money, especially when Fry's cleared them out. The Vifa radiating ring tweeter is just amazing, and though it's not the best example of its use, it's still a solid choice.

JBL's Studio series, original ones. Very neutral, dynamic speakers for the money. Kinda big & ugly.

Bohlender-Graebener Acculine A-1. Cheapest bookshelf speakers (just a little over $100 per pair) with planar ribbon tweeters you can buy. Easy to drive, and very smooth. Vertical dispersion is relatively narrow compared with cone based tweeters, so there's less of a boundary effect with the ceiling & floor. Makes placement easy.
 
I would say Monsoon just because it doesn't appear much and they make alot of crap, but their upper-end stuff is definitely high quality.
