Originally bought the linnbrooks moniters and liked them so much I bought the bass modules. He now only makes the linbrook in a singular enclosure. As a 2 piece system they are movable but still very robust and heavy. Beautiful cabinets with African wenge wood, gorgeous. Ty is about the easiest guy to do business with and will accommodate just about any request. He also made me custom speaker stands to elevate my speakers to my desired sitting position height, very much improved the sound. The custom sub he made me with 2 15” Audio elegance woofer drivers is a behemoth but will rumble the house powered by my Bryston 14b amp. I wish I lived closer to Owensboro Ky to audition his full line up at the time but this turned out to be one of the best audio purchases I have made.
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.
