Everyone has a list of speakers they would recommend.
My list: RBH, KEF, Revel, Focal, Dynaudio, Monitor Audio.
Others will have different lists.
In general, GoldenEars won't make it on some people's list. Why? Some people don't consider GoldenEar speakers as "accurate" because their Frequency Responses are not the most linear/flat.
Some people are upset that GoldenEar has been bought out by AudioQuest, the snake-oil wire company.
The word "Golden Ear" in itself is sort of a joke to poke fun of audiophiles who claim to be able to hear things that most of us cannot hear.
So it looks kind of bad when you combine "golden ears" with "snake-oil".
