I thought it would be good to focus on makers who have not even gotten that farThe ones that dont go far even after many years are simply not good enough. Why should we bother to focus on them if you want the best possible sound quality?
Beyond Boutique Speakers
The thread "boutique" speakers was apparently for makers who are famous enough to get regular reviews in Stereophile.
I thought it would be good to focus on makers who have not even gotten that far or you want to have a personal relationship with your speaker maker.

Lee Taylor, who made my cabinets and knows his stuff:
http://www.taylorspeakers.com/
And of course Fritz
http://fritzspeakers.com/
Of the three, I’m only familiar with Taylor’s cabinetry which is excellent, and Fritz’ finished products.
I can recommend both based on the reasons above. I really like the choices Selah makes, but I’ve never heard or seen them in person. The floor is now open to recommend others. I would like to ask that we stay with small makers who do not make it to the review pages on major magazines.

If I'm going to spend $$ for the components I choose it just seems like the best way is from a small company that takes pride and care of each item that leaves the shop before sending it out. Talking to the owner and being able to get something customized for a particular circumstance is a perk too. |
Well, Tonian Labs still qualifies as they've only been reviewed by 6moons.com and PFO online (Fransisco Duran) and that's about it. As for the dismissive comment from kenjit, he reminds me of who that quote of Mark Twain was meant for: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.All the best, Nonoise |
