Salk for me. Love my HT3's and Center channel and sub. The quality of the drivers, the attention to detail and the furniture grade finishes just make a great all around product. Everyone who sees them comments about how nice they look even before they hear them.
What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
Seeing a few discussions recently about Fritz made me curious about what other artisan speaker shops are out there.
I'll cast my vote for Louis at Omega Speakers in CT. His high efficiency full range Alnico drivers, impeccable craftsmanship and very reasonable prices make a compelling option. I've had some very nice speakers over the years but these put a smile on my face like no others could. My search is over.
No affiliation with him, here's a link to the ones he built for me the beginning of this year.

Have cycled through tons of speakers. Now I swear by Dennis Murphy’s Phil-3. Mine are in beautiful red maple veneer. My cousing got a pair in curly maple blue. Cabinets were done by the great Jim Salk of Salksound. Dennis and Jim work together on projects. Salksound offers the fantastic BMRs (I have a pair). http://philharmonicaudio.com/pa_archive/phil3.html These go quite low and they are superb and I am pretty much done.Since I can’t leave things alone, just for the heck of it I added two SVS SB2000 subwoofers, one for each channel. Dennis suggested crossing over to the subs at 80Hz and wow!! I just can’t see needing anything better. |
