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?

Some may be surprised but Bob Carver and his ALS speakers should be added to the list. He's a 3 man operation now. The ALS is perhaps the most sophisticated design that has come about in the past 30+ years of speaker design.  Set up correctly, it is perhaps in the top 5 full range designs available.
