+3 on Daedalus - Lou Hinckley is a craftsman - beautiful wood cabinetry and excellent sonics; also takes the time to communicate with you; and will not ship his speakers until he is completely satisfied with the quality of his workmanship
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Let's give a shout-out to those very small speaker companies that make excellent products. I'm thinking of true one-man operations (owner-designer-maker) as well as very small ones (owner-designer + a very few employees).
My nominees: Ryan, Prana, Philharmonic, Fritz, Watkins, Vaughn, Chapman, even Daedalus, Salk, Selah.
Who else belongs in this list?
How do they manage to compete with the "big boys", in quality if not in quantity?
