What's your favorite boutique speaker maker

...Not sure if this company is a 'boutique speaker maker', but the German company Manger Audio manufactures some (really!) impressive 'Speakers, their flagship S1 active floorstanders, which use a novel architecture for their drivers (called that 'Manger Transducer', as well as a damping technology called the 'Star Damper', as well as built-in Class-AB amps for both the (full range) driver and the twitter, are really impressive 'Speakers, which, admittedly, don't come cheap (retail price in the US is about $24,950), but then again, consider that the 'Big Boys' in the field, such as the Magico M3 ($75,000 sans an optional dedicated stand, at $9600, and (if for some unexplained reason) need to be augmented with subwoofers, they cost $22K each...The same goes for companies such as  YG Acoustics, Giya Audio, Revel, Focal, MBL, Wilson-Benesch, and the list goes on and on...So, taking into account the price of these, the Manger Audio 'Speakers are a great VFM proposition! And, the company manufactures a full line of other, less expensive, but equally impressive 'speakers. 

drbarney1,
You're not the first person to nominate Magnepan, but they are NOT a boutique company, and haven't been for many years! 

I’ll add my vote for Volti Audio. Fantastic speakers!

I recall years ago when the owner of Volti was just offering refurbs on older Klipsch speakers. He's really come a long way.

Von Schweikert, Lumen White, Volti.  Would Harbeth be considered a boutique speaker manufacturer?  Never heard a less than musically interesting speaker from these manufacturers.
