Interesting discussion. For me there are some brands that played a strong role when I was beginning my journey. Some are now no longer in business.
NHT as mentioned
TDL
Ariston
Rogers loudspeakers
Royd
Morrison
Castle
The Forgotten
Every time I come across a gem in this hobby I inevitably come to the conclusion that there must be a ton of wonderful gear out there that has either slipped through the cracks or been forgotten. I decided to start a thread hoping some of you would spill the beans.
I’ll start, but I don’t have a tone of experience. Totem, I believe to be very underrated. I find they truly have a magic to them. I’d throw out Harbeth but they surely aren’t forgotten. Audio Mirror is one I’m pretty fascinated with based on my Tubadour I recently acquired a Lab12 Integre4 that I think is better than anything I’ve had. For example McIntosh, Bryston, Audio Research, Primaluna and a bunch of mid-fi. Anyways, I think my experience is lacking but that’s what I’ve got.

+1 @tomic601 Bozak Concert Grands OMG not my first but very close to first speaker I had an extreme lust for. A co-worker had a pair powered by all McIntosh tube gear. This is pre 1980. They had an upgrade path where you purchase the cabinets and add drivers as you had more dollars. Four 12" woofs...don't remember the rest. Regards, barts |
