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?

IMO Totem makes the best speakers on the market for Classical music available at reasonable prices . But it is not a small company .

Exactly.

What I was going for in this thread was the enterprise headed by one guy, with perhaps one or two helpers, tops.  There seem to be plenty of viable speaker companies operating like this, though the downside is of course that it's diabolically difficult to find somewhere to listen to their products.
