Popularity does not always correlate well with performance. One of my favorite speakers ever was the Roman Audio Centurian. Never achieved widespread popularity, and vanished long ago. There are some very talented speaker designers/builders out there that lack the ability to get their speakers widely distributed and/or reviewed by the audio press.
