Little Know Speaker Builders

I recently came across a local speaker builder and had a listen to his designs. The guy has been building speakers for 30 years and for the price, they sounded really good. I may take a pair home to comapre to my B&Ws. The speakers sell for $1800 versus $5000 for the B&W 803s.

I wanted to know if you know of any other speaker builders where you have had a listen to their designs and what your thoughts are. Did you end up comparing them and buying them? An can you provide me with information on them.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

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 ?

A local guy here in Portland builds a fine speaker called the Shamrock Eire. His name is Mike McCall and his website is www.shamrockaudio.com.

Basically he only sells direct and passes the 50% cost savings on to the consumer. Mike's a real straight shooter with a quality first product.
