Little Know Speaker Builders


I recently came across a local speaker builder and had a listen to his designs. The guy has been building speakers for 30 years and for the price, they sounded really good. I may take a pair home to comapre to my B&Ws. The speakers sell for $1800 versus $5000 for the B&W 803s.

I wanted to know if you know of any other speaker builders where you have had a listen to their designs and what your thoughts are. Did you end up comparing them and buying them? An can you provide me with information on them.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

I don't know if this counts as "little known" but... I would seriously consider North Creek speakers.

Lee Taylor will build any of the cabinets and installing the crossovers and drivers is not rocket science. The quality of the designs and the amazing crossovers really make these speakers unique. I have enjoyed the Rhythm Signatures for over a year now. Just email me if you want to know more.
How about Royd Loudspeakers from England? They are handbuilt and sound fantastic for the money.

They do retail in shops but there are not that many dealers in the States.

KINETIC AUDIO !!! I have the STAT (satellite) & TRAPEZOID (double 12" subs) since 1981 !!! Refinished the cabinets to black myself...will never give them up.
I always wanted to hear Kinetic Audio speakers. They always had such good specs in the old Audio Annual Buyers Guides. Never had the opportunity.
