Question about a brand of speakers mentioned here at one time

[fxbill 471]

I've searched and cannot seem to find the maker of some speakers that were mentioned here on the site at one point in time. They were hand made by a guy who built them to order... I think he had several stock models....they were finished in a gloss lacquer of various colors and had 2-3 12" drivers with midrange and tweeters and were in the $1000-$2000 range if I remember correctly. He built them to order and the reports on sound quality were quite good. I simply can't remember who he was or what the name of the company was.

   Any help here?

I remember seeing that thread, but I don't recall the brand.

 

It may have been Salk: http://www.salksound.com/gallery.php

 

I don't think it was Daedalus   https://www.daedalusaudio.com/

 

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Maybe the original poster will see this thread.

This sounds like the description of speakers that kve777  wrote about last fall.  I believe he was using them in his primary system at the time.

Might be Kevin’s Tekton Pendragons!

I don't think it was those...thank you guys. It was a single guy who was making them and he had possibly three different stock models available and in different gloss lacquer colors, but they were (if I remember correctly) in the $1000-$2,000) range.

I do recall at the time looking at the Tektons though in addition to the ones I'm now trying to find so it was in that time frame.

Fritz Speakers? 

[fxbill 471]

No... They weren't that fancy looking....no wood grain finish.

Were they Linkwitz?

[fxbill 471]

Unfortunately no. These were kind of "plain Jane" systems with one or two 12" main speakers and mid rage and tweeters in a tower type large box....rectangular with no fancy curves or anything like that. I believe they were about 4-5 ft tall with a simple gloss lacquer finish and he had about 3-4 standard models with different numbers of main drivers and he hand built each of them. They were also very reasonably priced....all of them under $2k per pair and many of them in the $1k range. He had excellent reviews and would take custom orders to build for anyone wanting different sets of drivers in them. Perhaps it wasn't here that I read about them, but it was about the time that Kevin was talking about his Tektons that I ran across them. It is a one man operation.
