American Audio


Even if audio is a global thing, good ’ole USA is still there:

PS Audio -not terribly expensive, excellent-sounding gear
Benchmark, Sanders -innovative amps, no nose-bleed prices
Cables/cords -Transparent, High Fidelity, Synergistics, Cardas, Kimber, Audioquest. More brands than anywhere on Earth.
Klipsch, JBL -still after 75 years, horns no longer ’sound’ like horns
Emerald Physics/Spatial -new takes on horn/waveguides. Like Klipsch, all-American incl parts
Vandersteen, Joseph, Ryan -the cone speaker keeps getting better
Component/speaker stands -Symposium, Critical Mass, Star Sound
ASC -room acoustics

It’s a confusing world of ear-buds, computer & car audio. And tech-general like the internet. But quality 2-chan audio is around and it’s more than I thought....

Don't forget CODA. They are based out of Sacramento. Amazing how much good gear is made in the USA.
Didn't read the whole thread.  Sanders Sound Systems, Herron Audio, JRDG and Evolution Acoustics have all graced my system at some point. (Some still do🙂).
Janszen Audio, maker of superb electrostatic speakers in Columbus, Ohio. If they've been mentioned so far, I missed it.


I always try to buy gear made in USA....

I've had McIntosh, B&K, C.A.L., PS, Theta, Channel Islands,  a number of Klipsch made in Hope,  McCormack, among others
