I very much enjoyed my SS6M's before I sold them (for tower speakers). They are beautiful speakers and Jim was a delight to deal with. Small companies can be a wonderful adventures but they can also be confining. Getting out with your skin intact is the best outcome and I wish Jim well.

It is unfortunate that there aren't family members or employees who are able to continue the company.  Equally unfortunate is that beautiful cabinets are now being made in China more and more companies seem to be availing themselves of these cabinets in order to keep costs down which ends up putting a lot of pressure on the custom cabinet guys like Salk or Daedalus or Devore....to name a few.

Audio is a very competitive business!

I was at that Arizona Speakerfest and clearly recall seeing and hearing the Salk speakers. I was hoping at that time that it would be an annual event.

this is horrible, is my first impression, for such a well regarded brand. I don’t understand this:

They simply did not feel confident they could market speakers at prices

what marketing? Salk is such a well-known brand, if you build it, they will come.
