Obscure companies making excellent speakers?


Found on the forum names of speaker manufacturers unfamiliar to me that supposedly are using new technologies or designs and as a result are making big impressions on fellow goners. Would like to see a list of these young and not so young companies that otherwise fly under the radar because advertisement just too expensive or not viable.

Another brand I found at the UK HiFi show in london last weekend, Acoustic Plan.

A very nice open baffle design, with base drivers that can be driven actively or passively. That gives a sensitivity of 98 driven active and 88 passive. They really sounded very good, open, transparent, good soundstaging. I always think if a sytem sounds good in show conditions, it must really be good.
Hi Pedrillo, I'll have another go. My favorite remains Tidal but here are a few more brands for your next list, worthy of Audiogoners' interest. A wildly varying bunch, but each one will appeal to a different sonics/price/tec-specs/looks preference. I heard one or the other product from most of these at the Munich High End, others directly at the constructor's or distributor's (mind you, not always enough to give detailed descriptions of sonic peculiarities, let alone subtle differences between them)

Admittedly, "obscure" is not a valid description for some of these in their home markets, e.g. Audioplan in Germany, WML in Austria or Davis in France, but they are fairly unknown to the audiophile community at large (sorry guys, some of these do not have websites in English)

Digital Phase is definitely an obscure company making EXCELLENT speakers. They have been making speakers with their proprietary 'acousta-reed' technology for over 20 years in Chattanooga, TN. Their response curve on all their speakers are ruler flat from 35hz-20khz (+ or - 1.5 db) and they sound incredible, easily on par with my Dunlavy SC-IVs. Although their website needs a lot of work, it does have some useful info here:
