I tried to add the companies first that some of you suggested. I am not adding anything that doesn't have any data, and I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the company's founding date and headquarters/factory city for a few of them - hours. I emailed the companies and none of them responded. So what you see is mostly the companies that I had the time to research and found data for. It takes about 30 min for each company and if I am lucky, 30 min for 3-5 speakers to properly enter into the database. I sent out a lot of emails for missing info, with a 3% response rate, 1% useful info. I know it because it was ONE company willing to send me a price list.
list of speakers
My quest which I started three years ago to find my dream speakers resulted in a lot of lists and comparisons. It occurred to me that I had not seen a comprehensive, free and user-friendly databases of loudspeakers and maybe there should be one. Maybe others would find it useful (although no one is as OCD with lists as I am :) )
Others - meaning my kind - budget, beginner, not advanced audiophiles like you guys. So it may not mean much to you but still, any feedback would be appreciated.
I know it's amateurish - my design skills suck, the only value in it is the data and possibly the search and comparison features.
Last but not least, and I won't name names not to exclude anyone, thank you people for helping me to put together this web site, with direct feedback and advice over the years about how to find the ideal gear. Several of you also gave me awesome components for which I will be forever grateful. Thank you fellow members!

@grislybutter I hope all is working out for you, man! |
@shtinkydog yes! The preamp sounds fabulous!!! |
@grislybutter a lot of information are available on line right at your fingertips. For example, TAD Compact Reference One (TAD CR1TX) https://www.technicalaudiodevices.com/compact-reference-one-tx/, where you could find general spec. and detailed driver tech aspects. If specific speakers have been reviewed by credible sources such as Stereophile, you may find specifications and measurement information there. To determine the regular sale price, you can search 'xxx for sale' on Google if the price is not listed on the official website. Some manufacturers do not list it, allowing dealers the flexibility to set their marketing sale prices. Prices can fluctuate over time, so pinpoint accuracy may not be necessary. Dutch & Dutch 8c https://dutchdutch.com/collections/8c-speaker. For this famous active speaker, the manufacture lists the sale price since it is a direct sale company. You could find other valuable information in Stereophile. https://www.stereophile.com/content/dutch-dutch-8c-active-loudspeaker-system If you need assistance, I will be more than happy to offer my time to provide additional information for your. Let me know.

thanks @lanx0003 ! I spent 100s of hours looking up and entering this data, and now I was told frequency range published by the manufacturers can be unreliable/can't be trusted. It's a wild ride, but fun. |
