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?

Another vote for Silverline. I've owned Bolero's for over 7 years and they clearly aren't going anywhere soon, if ever! :-)
Silverline Yeah,
I’m presently enjoying my Bolero Supremes kicked up with Jupiter copper foils on the Esotar,All Duelund internal wire,and more and better damping material everywhere.

Very nice and just so darn Musical,
Kenny.
Janszen fits the criteria to a T and offers the best customer support I have ever experienced.   

StudioElectric also fits the bill. 
@david_ten I think you summed things up perfectly it is Tekton "always" hence this thread. :)
Prana Fidelity sounded good at Axpona- very real world prices.
Volti Audio- nice classic horn look and sound.

+1 for Vinnie Rossi- unbelievable sound and excellent customer service.
