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?

Lots of great suggestions here.  Keep 'em on coming.  There are all these interesting companies under the radar.  Perhaps one of them will be the Next Big Thing.
Here’s one that their speakers aren’t well known and almost classify for this thread,because from what I’ve read about them,one guy has designed them all.
They also make a whole series of different drivers,sold individually or to other speaker manufacturers which is bigger and separate from their speakers.

Here’s a link that lists them all with current USA pricing,

Speaker Art. Bob Gross is an incredible designer, however he was lousy at marketing his speakers. The Super Clef competes with speakers costing multiples of the paultry $1300 he charged for them and his Proklain ll while not the most attractive speaker is one of the top two-way standmount speakers ever made regardless of price. It’s a shame that he is retired from the business.
