What's your favorite boutique speaker maker

audioman58,
They are good speakers from all reports, but I don't think that they would qualify as a boutique brand. They're distributed internationally and they advertise.

@treynolds155 - that is indeed me; thanks for checking the site out and the kind words.  Cheers

Maybe not <<boutique>> neither fully DIY (as it it does come with xover,,and also not <,commercial lab>> as  the speaker does not come fully assembled.
Here is a speaker kit i hope to add as a  2nd speaker system after i recover from my failed tube flipping business on ebay this year. = huge loss..
I may swap out the W18 for a  W22,,not sure yet\, have to talk with xover over designer.

I'm curious as to why no one has mentioned Tyler Acoustics


^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tyler made/makes some very nice speakers with the SEAS Excel line of drivers,, THey are too large for my needs, but if you have the room size, and the muscles,, Tyler is <<best bang for the buck>> IMHO Tyler should have stayed with SEAS only drivers , making all sorts of 2 ways and 3 ways.
And also offering xovers with high tech caps, like Mundorf Supreme EVO's. 
This would have given his speakers a  edge over any comp and really put his name on the map.
Xovers should be external, this way buyer gets to see exactly what he is paying for,,as those caps are expensive, but worth it.
