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?

Very Kool,I went to the sites that had links provided and there is some really great lookin speakers!
I would like to reinforce Legacy Audio and Bill Dudleston,
I’ve been contemplating the Aeris and I had several questions to ask Bill,It took a couple of days and through a weekend but he called me back early that Monday and took the time to completely answer my questions and also provided me more info related to that speaker.

Just a super nice guy that’s very smart as well but still talk in simple terms that the average aphile can understand.I’m sure he has always worn many hats in his company.

Enjoy,
Kenny.
Source Technologies. They don't advertise or demonstrate at shows. They just make good under the radar speakers for their customers and other companies. www.sourcespeaker.com
I forget Eminent Technologies. Bruce Thigpen is one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of speaking to. His innovative designs are unsurpassed for the money.
