Defunct brands-


Do you or have you owned gear that, while you owned the piece- the company went under? 
I definitely have- most recently, Auralic. In the past- California Audio Lab. Both made good digital gear

@bdp24 i hear you on Clear Day. Paul was a good guy and always upfront. Same with Keith Herron (who lives down the road from me). 

@easystreamer - Snell for all intents ended when Peter Snell died. Fortunately, Audionote continues to keep Snell designs alive 

@johnto my brother in law still has his Rectilinears. I remember moving those speakers into his apartment back in the 70’s 

@zavato I did not know that about Audio Note. My current Type D's (second system) and my long gone Type E/III were definitely after Peter Snell's time but still great speaker values. I plan to keep the Type D's forever. I am expecting the driver surrounds to fail soon but I will repair them.

Rock on!

Melos made some great gear, Equation speakers from Canada had a hot minute and were very good; I had their "7" model. Let's not forget Thiel. Jim never made a dog speaker - each and every one, paired with the right electronics, is amazing. Just to name a few...
