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?

+1 for Gershman Acoustics! Lived with their little Cameleon for several years and liked them allot. A small 2 way floor standing speaker with very good base and a large detailed stage that has a way of making the walls disappear...
+1 also for Spatial Audio. I haven't personally auditioned, but have heard and read good things. Considering my love for ribbons and stats, their open baffle design and simplicity peaks some interest...Jim
