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.

i have been following this thread and have a question,i heard rethm,s the sound was such as if i was sitting between the musicians ,i am looking at something similar with detailed relaxed and lifelike lively soundstage suitable for SET amp,which of the manufactureres mentioned above will suit my requiremnts,recently i heard about field coil speakers like classic audio and cogent but these are too expensive,even japanese like similar speakers which are musical, i have been recommended high emotion audio speakers,as similar sounding i will appreciate your input
Mehrakrishan, no field coil speaker is going to be inexpensive. The reason the permanent magnet speakers showed up decades ago is that they are cheaper to make!

The High Emotion Audio speaker is easy to drive but it is not considered high efficiency, like you often need for an SET. PHY makes a great set of drivers that are full-range and high efficiency, you might also investigate Fertin Acoustic drivers, many of which are field-coil.
has anybody heard sculpture horn speaker by CH audio with magnet speaker or field coil drivers
Eventus Audio that uses their SACC (Simulated Anechoic Cabinet Construction) Technology. I have a pair of Phobos and they are absolutely fantastic. Paird up with a Pass Lab amp, and you have a really open soundstage.
Bamberg Engineering Sound Lab
King's Audio Limited KingSound Speakers
Lenehan Audio
PNB Audio
Acoustic Energy
Living Voice
Ohm

I own a pair of PBN Montana XPs. All the above, including Reynaud and Selah speakers previously mentioned are currently on my radar screen to replace my second system.
