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.

Have been following this really interesting discussion.  We have been trying to understand both the current audio market and where it is going in positioning ourselves.  We feel like we are in an undefined space - we have boutique aspects such as small production, direct to customer, and some configuration options (cross-over and connectors).  But we also are working on economies of scale and repeatable production processes to offer more approachable prices, 15-day trials, limited configuration choices, etc.  Ideally we hope to reach newer entrants to the 'audiophile' world... maybe as they progress to more expensive/esoteric offerings.  Fantastic world that we live in where there is a spectrum of products to choose from.

Continuing to listen in on this discussion. Selfishly I am getting a lot of insight hearing this communities thoughts.  If you care to share about your personal progression from 'mainstream' to interest in boutique offerings that would be really interesting.

@jayctoy, I had a tube setup for a while but I run my stereo almost around the clock since I've been working home with the pandemic. I switched to a Mcintosh MHA100 that I bought NOS from Audio Classics and it mates very nicely with the 95db Omegas. Swapped out a very nice streamer and dac for their MB50 too. I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. I'd still love to hear them through a Decware though ; ) 

Boutique, well in my case the owner who is a one man show dropped off a pair of his speakers at my office to try out. We later discussed what I liked and didn't like about those particular ones and we discussed and planned out the appropriate model including upgrades. I not only picked out the veneer, I picked the specific lot number...there was a big difference. I feel I have truly one of a kind speakers. The link in my OP was taken by him and posted on his Instagram page. I don't have a camera that could do them justice. 

So many great names tossed out here, many I already knew, lots I didn't. Thanks for all the great posts.
