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?

+1 for Reference 3A. This Canadian company makes incredible speakers that sound way expensive more than their price would indicate.

Also, Decware Speakers. More known for his components, Steve Deckert makes several very good speakers. How does he compete? By maintaining a balance between hobby and business; by not every getting professional reviews, and by having a large, devoted cult following among audiophiles.
