Obscure brands worth considering


American and not. There is a lot of equipment not visible or even not represented in the US at all.
What about speakers?

For obscure, Fritz. Very high value to parts, had the best sound at the show in Oakland. I spoke to two recording artists associated with Blue Coast Records, they concurred.

Partly also his choice of room treatment, but it shows to me he has great ears.

Best,

Arcaydis has made some nice speakers over the years. Brodmann have a very specific sound worth hearing.

I don’t see much Neat in the US. It deserves much more attention. I’d consider PBN a great US brand that is obscure here in Canada.
I'll mention Michael Green Audio controlled resonance speakers. They are not for eveyone, but then again what is ?
Unlike most speakers they don't look like campwood or concrete blocks with drivers, not to mention big horn looking like giant vaginas.
