Looking for the next best thing? Underground welco

I would like to know if anyone can recommend any loudspeakers that are so called off the beaten path. I am very aware of the Zu and Gallo and B&W and JmLab and Vons and Ushers and Hyperion etc, and would like to know if you could recommend the next best thing in technology advancement that most people have not written so much about. Its obvious that the flavor of the month club is always writing about the current best thing. I am looking for interesting new technology that is not so written about and your underground types that may be the next greatest. Thanks>> Bill

Thanks so much and please kkep your thoughts coming. I had the Totem Hawks and they were truily outstanding. I was just curious in that I have just purchased Mark and Daniels Rubys, and they are not main stream and they have brand new technology as well. Anybody know about the SP technology line? Wave? They are offering a new mini version of the Timepiece that is reasonable and has the new technology?

Thanks,Bill

Danish 'System Audio' makes excellent speakers! In particular, the Explorer and SA2k models are worth a listen.

Here is one I keep babbling about--Daedalus Audio. I've been using the DA-1's for the past year and a half and continue to feel they are something very, very special. Lou is about finished with a new "audiophile" line with pinpoint imaging that will include a large stand mounted monitor and a flagship floorstander called the Ulysses. I understand in talking with Lou that there are numerous refinements in the new models that will also be applied to the existing "whole house"/HT line consisting of the DA-1 and DA-2. Personally, the thought of an improved floorstander with more focused imaging has me batty waiting for my pair to be built. Not sure if Lou's designs qualify as "next best thing" technologically but he does approach the design and build process in a unique fashion with extraordinary results.

Hi Joman,

Thanks for the kind words. I think some extra keystrokes may have crept into your last line - perhaps what you meant to say was "Duke is also a human being."

I have one pair of my speakers in the basement right now, so does that qualify as "underground"??

Also, I'm advertising 'em here and at Audio Circle - that alone probably qualifies 'em as "underground". The "innovative" part - well, I'd probably need to hire a better marketing department before I could get that claim to really stick (though I think the claim is at least made in my propaganda). If nothing else, my designs are off the beaten path a bit.
