Wharfedale
Wharfedale have been consistently making the best speakers between $200 and $500. We've tried to unseat them from this position year-after-year, and they remain on top. More recently, they've been releasing special editions such as the Denton and Linton models, which are showing that they can increase quality while remaining attractive and affordable. If you've been looking at Polk, Klipsch, and ELAC; you owe it to yourself to give this brand a listen.
