What's your favorite boutique speaker maker

Seeing a few discussions recently about Fritz made me curious about what other artisan speaker shops are out there. 

I'll cast my vote for Louis at Omega Speakers in CT. His high efficiency full range Alnico drivers, impeccable craftsmanship and very reasonable prices make a compelling option. I've had some very nice speakers over the years but these put a smile on my face like no others could. My search is over. 

No affiliation with him, here's a link to the ones he built for me the beginning of this year.

+1 for Joesph Audio

Perspective 2’s are a perfect fit for my medium sized room. Tone, texture, detail, dynamics and scale are magnificent.  Build quality is top notch and Jeff is a really nice person too.

The first company that came to my mind is Merlin speakers. No new production since the owner passed away but Rich Brkich of Signature Sound offers full support, like new refurbished TSM monitors and VSM towers as well as upgrading any model to the most recent level.

Merlin is one of the few speakers that can match the speed, resolution and tonal purity of ATC, my favorite brand (not boutique).

Agree with vdotman completely. Fuselier speakers from the early 80's were something special. Wish I still had my 3.3s which I loved dearly.
John Fuselier was also a commercial airline pilot I believe...
