What are some smaller names that compete with the big names in Audio?

I am sometimes frustrated by poor product distribution, like with Brodmann and dc10audio. I liked Brodmann’s piano and piano vocal demonstration, but of course they should be great at that type of music. The design is a little funny, so not sure if big problems will show up with other material. I have interest in dc10audio, but their pricing and marketing makes me scratch my head. Otherwise they are kind of remind of me of Harbeth but less boxy and more dynamic.

Does Gato use scanspeak revelators? Except of the absentee bass I like the old YG Carmels a lot, but that was sealed design. (I’m not a fan of ports.) Thanks for the intro; I would like to hear them someday.

Yes I think they do. I'm very happy with the speaker.  Airy treble, glorious midrange and agile bass.

Cool. I bet I would like them. Interesting the Canadian importer lists Piega, which has a fairly similar design but with ribbon tweeters.

I will be up all night thinking about that one.

In answer to the original question: Sanders and Janszen are two firms making electrostatic speakers, neither is a big name, and each makes excellent products.
