What's your favorite boutique speaker maker

Seeing a few discussions recently about Fritz made me curious about what other artisan speaker shops are out there. 

I'll cast my vote for Louis at Omega Speakers in CT. His high efficiency full range Alnico drivers, impeccable craftsmanship and very reasonable prices make a compelling option. I've had some very nice speakers over the years but these put a smile on my face like no others could. My search is over. 

No affiliation with him, here's a link to the ones he built for me the beginning of this year.

Caintuck Audio. All open baffles, single full range drivers offered in 8", 8" Alnico, 12" and 15". He even has 12" and 15" open baffle subs. I heard a pair of his 8" Betsy open baffles hooked up to a 2 watt set amp. They sounded stupidly good. Imaging and soundstage were fantastic. I was floored. I got to meet Randy the owner. It is a one man show. All of his speakers are under $1k/pair.
