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?

JM Reynaud of France. Only 5 dealers in N. America. The factory in Barbezieux produces around 500 pairs per year. Unfortunately because of the limited distribution this speaker line is one of the best-kept secrets in all of high-end audio.  Seek them out, grasshopper...ye shall be richly rewarded.
Living Voice OBX RW speakers have a simply magical sound that slowly and insidiously places you into a musical spell.

Wow that is most definitely quite a description.
