Obscure companies making excellent speakers?


Found on the forum names of speaker manufacturers unfamiliar to me that supposedly are using new technologies or designs and as a result are making big impressions on fellow goners. Would like to see a list of these young and not so young companies that otherwise fly under the radar because advertisement just too expensive or not viable.

I am an ATC man and have used their professional products for years. Check out the 20s and 150s. Never heard anything better for a precise sound. They play all genres well: I like 20 different styles, and am never disappointed. As Shadorne said, they like to be played LOUD and have more intense dynamics as you move up.

For musicality, I also like Almarro tube amps matched to their speakers. Really relaxed sound and plays Jazz and R & B in truely wonderful ways. Some of the best organic sounding gear I have heard for pure pleasure. Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye and Miles Davis sound fantastic.

Leema is an up and coming monitor company out of the UK. Make wonderful amps that marry well with their speakers. Along with LFD, probably the next "buzz" product from over there.

For cheap pro gear, I think that Blue Sky Audio make wonderful product for budding musicians.
