Little Know Speaker Builders

If you're in the Chicago area check out Kinetic Audio
(www.kinetic-audio.com). Used to be a fairly large operation
in the mid-70s but has slowly reduced to his current one-man
company run by Ted Karson. Specializes in transmission line
designs. He builds his own 12" woofers, 6.5" mids, and 1"
soft dome tweeters to extremely high standards. The only
drivers he outsources are his 1" metal dome tweeters and
his 2" metal and soft dome mids. I've had a pair of his
Labyrinths since '96 and I'm still thrilled by them every
time I sit down to listen.

Try Don Morrison at Morrison audio. He's famous for making the E.L.A.D. (line-stage preamp) but you have to hear his speakers, glorious and the response is as flat as flat could be with the 3D imaging that is out of this world.

Check out Reimer speakers (www.reimerspeakers.com). He is a one-man shop. Great speakers. He doesn't make his own drivers (as few people do, except large companies), but his designs are great. I've got a pair of his McCulloughs, and I'm extremely happy with them. I'm driving them with a pair of 2A3 monoblocks.

check out ellisaudio.com

I've read some nice things about these, but never heard them.

Also has anybody heard or heard of Toby speakers out of Ft Worth TX ?
