I used to live in Seattle, when Speakerlab was still "local".  They had a
great reputation then, and as far as I know they are still great.  My
only experience has been with their bookshelf-sized speakers, and they
are excellent (especially in their price range!).  People I knew who had
their larger speakers were also pleased.  Do check them out.
