Then Decware is a prime candidate. Never reviewed in major publications, yet with a solid customer base across the country.

Beyond Boutique Speakers
The thread "boutique" speakers was apparently for makers who are famous enough to get regular reviews in Stereophile.
I thought it would be good to focus on makers who have not even gotten that far or you want to have a personal relationship with your speaker maker.

Lee Taylor, who made my cabinets and knows his stuff:
http://www.taylorspeakers.com/
And of course Fritz
http://fritzspeakers.com/
Of the three, I’m only familiar with Taylor’s cabinetry which is excellent, and Fritz’ finished products.
I can recommend both based on the reasons above. I really like the choices Selah makes, but I’ve never heard or seen them in person. The floor is now open to recommend others. I would like to ask that we stay with small makers who do not make it to the review pages on major magazines.

Link for Tyler Acoustics. I’d be interested in hearing from someone on here who has at least heard any of his speakers. He is factory direct only.http://www.tyleracoustics.com |
I have listened to many of Ty's speakers at shows and have owned the Taylo 7u and the Linbrook Supertowers. The Taylos were my least favorite of them. I really liked the Supertower. At shows I have heard multiple speakers in the Decade line, Woodmere 2, Highland H3 and H4, and the Insights. For the brief time I heard them, the Highland line was my personal favorite and the Insight are very fun to listen to. It has been probably four years since I have heard any of them, so info is not the most update. I would be interested to hear the Decade line now that they use the Seas drivers. They should be very good. I chatted with Ty each time I saw him at a show and he was always a pleasure. |
