Add to this list the following:
Oskar Heil Speakers--keeping alive the Heil pleated ribbon speaker technology. I heard these at CES a while back and thought they sounded pretty promising.
Trenner & Friedl -- Austrian, I believe. They make very musical sounding compact dynamic speakers.
Gradient--very good sounding speakers that are specifically designed to be very versatile when it comes to room placement. I have heard the Revolution (active biamped) at shows placed very close to both a back and side wall in a small room, and the sound was quite good for such a conventionally bad location.
ESP-- heard the big boys at a show and liked the overall weight and good tonal qualities, although they did sound a touch "slow" and lacking in dynamics.
Gershman--several quite good models, in terms of overall tonality, weight and musicality.
