Bunno77 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Quite a few I haven't seen before. A great list thank you Some out there designs, interesting websites and unfortunately a few without pricelists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwhouston Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 When some one like Duntech does first order Xover and sealed box it makes me smile. It means I’ve got it right all this time with my own builds. I guess after 60 years of electronics and DIY audio I may, just may, know what sound “right” and I know what the “f” I’m doing. I’m not going to see another 50 years but time to bring it all together in one or two builds - flea power tube amps, true retro-thermionic builds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anandpkumar Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Great list - familiar with probably half the names from the Australian side. Most of the NZ names except for Theophony and Wing audio are new to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadly Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Absolutely i am going here,i have being thinking about a speaker upgrade for a long time and the search has been never ending.I was getting misty eyed about the Tektons and trying to get some kind of an idea about expense of importing them , sent them an email they responded saying they would get back to me on the costs involved but unfortunately i never heard back from them and i am not surprised with the hell they going through at the moment in the US. So I thought bugger it i'll go local ,looking closely at VAF , great pedigree and bang for buck in spades very quick to respond to questions from me. But i am very tentative when spending big bucks as i have what someone here brilliantly said and i quote "I have a champagne taste but a beer budget" So the search will continue blah blah lol! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver_man Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) What an excellent list, some amazing looking speakers (and some dreadful looking websites). This is the first time I have heard of several of these makers. The Hulgich Audio Nina reminds me of something from Sonus faber, and Pitt & Giblin Superwax a modern take on a JBL 4350A.

genkifd Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 awesome list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anandpkumar Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 @Snoopy8 has done a fantastic job of collating the list. What would be awesome is if 'we' as a community can attach a list of references/reviews (where ever available) for these speakers brands. Since there are not too many reviews of Australian & NZ made speakers, this would really help potential buyers or others who are interested in the brand. This is probably a bit task, but if we can all pitch in - especially the experienced and long term members, along with any existing owners, might be possible. What say, Snoopy? As a starting point, attaching a review of Hulgich speakers from our forum. https://www.stereo.net.au/reviews/review-hulgich-audio-serenade-loudspeakers Review of Legend Acoustics speaker https://www.soundstageaustralia.com/index.php/reviews/17-legend-acoustics-big-red-active-loudspeakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some questions, comments: Can we get most, if not all of them to have a SNA reference? Otherwise, only big vendors with larger customer base will make it Suggest using SNA only references, and 1 link only (easier to maintain) Commercial reviews, including formal SNA reviews should be excluded. If the vendor does not put links to commercial reviews in their own website, then it is their problem; we are already giving them a leg up and should not be expected to do further marketing Vendors can encourage their users to start a thread here; these users would then add to this list Am willing to update my original post occasionally, but will depend on all of you to build the list up. It has to be a collective effort of many people. Ideally, people should up accumulate the links into a few posts and I can then update the original post. Let's see what people's responses are. If ithere is only a handful of interested people, then it will not work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm in giving it a shot, but like you said, will have to wait to see if others are interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petew Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I wasn't considering Australian made speakers but have ended up with a pair of Orpheus Apollo. They were just within my megre budget and sound fabulous! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap at $13.5K a pair, but considering they are fully active with DSP, all you need is a source Some recent news about them https://www.stereo.net.au/news/aussie-brand-pitt-giblin-emerges-from-pandemic-with-new-direction 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
