Who owns speakers which are NOT British?
Posted by: AussieSteve on 29 August 2016
So many members seem to use UK speakers, do many of you use speakers from elsewhere?
French Canadian
French - Triangle Magellan duetto
American - Devore Fidelity Orangutan 0/93 - An American speaker manufacturer that voices his speakers on Naim and Dems with Naim at HIFI shows in the US.
Totem Hawks .. Canadian ..
Wait, there are speakers not made in Britain?
Avalon Transcendent - USA
Denmark - DALI.
Dynaudio - Denmark
Scansonic-Denmark
Dynaudio-Denmark
US JBL.
Denmark Dynaudio.
3x pairs of British PMCs
1x pair of French Focals (a bargain in the 'ete soldes')

Weren't the HB1s giant killers?!
Audiovector - Denmark

They were excellent speakers and I loved them. Not sure if they were giant killers, at the time I had limited resources and researched a fair bit and auditioned them before I bought but they were very good with the kit I had and more than capable of keeping up as I upgraded.
Italian...Sonus Faber
In the past it might have belonged to the big empire, but Canadian. Verity Audio and very happy with them....
Audiovector from Denmark. Nice sounding, nice looking ![]()
Sweden Guru Juniors
Have had Kef 104/2 and Gale 401 and Heybrook Hb1 in the past.
French: Focal 1008be & Domes
German: Audio-Physic centre
A speaker doesn't need to be british to pair well with NAIM and have PRAT for days ![]()
Australian: Duntech PCL-10 Studio Monitors.

I've been enjoying these since.. 2003?
Very hard to contemplate an upgrade.
Totem Dreamcatchers ( Canada ) very happy with them as a replacement for the Spendor A5s.
Sonus faber Guarneri Evolution from Italy - To my ears (and in my listening room) they ideally complement my 252.
Focal Scalas, French, and when in Brasil I used Totem Rainmakers - Canadian - with my uinti. Sounded excellent - far better than the Linn speakers connected to it now!
There's much variety here, it would be really interesting to see a Speaker Photo thread (including model and possibly indicating room size).
I would start one myself, but black DBL's must be about the least interesting speaker to look at!
Dynaudio. Still Denmark
