darkj,
a couple more recommendations of US manuf:
* Sanders Sound Systems - Roger Sanders used to design ESL speakers at Innersound until there was a rift between him & the owner(s). He started Sanders Sound Systems in Conifer, CO. Roger makes it a point to use local artisans for his speaker frames & cabinets. He has demo’d several times at RMAF & the sonics are always really good. Roger is a real stand-up guy & always fun to talk to.

* Galibier Designs - design & manuf of turntables. Saw his gear & met Thom Mackris at RMAF 2007 but haven't heard much from him lately. Rather low key but very good sounding TTs.
