Do you remember?

I was listening to a cd (Chico Freeman)with my Aragon 24k pre and wondered why this company is no longer with us. Great build,parts,and sonics. I then recalled a spkr I once owned-Kestral-and also pondered as to why it bit the dust. What do you remember where jaw meet floor applied and is know longer made. This may have been threaded before so forgive me as I don't write often. Enjoy the music.
