If Canada is close enough, try some PSB speakers. I use some of the Stratus series.. www.psbspeakers.com

Good luck.

M&K 150THX, great speakers.

JBL's


I use the JBL Studio monitors and they are fantastic. More recording studios use JBL than any other speaker. I think Lucasfilm uses them for mixing soundtracks for their DVD's.

VMPS and A.C.I. can both fit the request.

I haven't listened to the latest group of snell type e's, but I do like the EIII's a great deal.


Boston Acoustics, parent company of Snell, is also good.

I thought lucas film uses M&K?


I'd go with M&K of what is above

Mirage speakers are made in Canada. Not quite US but they do take US currency there

 

[PanamaMike]

I believe it's true that Lucas uses M&K now, but did you know the original THX standard development employed Snell Type A's?

You can put together a set of entry level Martin Logans for that price. Manufactured in Kansas.

The whole "made in U.S.A." thing is not black and white. Many American speaker companies do "assembly" rather than full production, and they source drivers from China, Brazil, etc., crossovers from Tecate in Mexico, and cabinets made for them, usually in the United States. The companies that build everything in-house are extremely rare, and it doesn't guarantee high quality, necessarily. At Triad, we build everything in Oregon, all except our drivers, which are almost all imported from Northern Europe...Vifa, Seas, Peerless, and scan-speak. If we could buy better drivers here, we would. We're not buying these brands because they're cheap...
