Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)


Let's give a shout-out to those very small speaker companies that make excellent products.  I'm thinking of true one-man operations (owner-designer-maker) as well as very small ones (owner-designer + a very few employees).

My nominees: Ryan, Prana, Philharmonic, Fritz, Watkins, Vaughn, Chapman, even Daedalus, Salk, Selah.

Who else belongs in this list?

How do they manage to compete with the "big boys", in quality if not in quantity?

Is anyone familiar with or heard Bache speakers? I have seen some of their models for sale here on A’gon. Thank you.

It’s been too long since I’ve listened to Dunlavys to compare, but the Tyler D2’s I owned were very open and clear sounding. Maybe not the deepest bass but top to bottom a great coherent speaker. I thought the price to performance ratio was off the charts. Only sold them to try something different and a little smaller but I just might go to Ty’s Highland line.
