wow I am surprised.
PSB Speakers International
633 Granite Court, Pickering, Ontario L1W 3K1, Canada
It would be interesting to know if they manufacture their speaker
assemblies and not just the enclosures.

Alvin,
I bought PSB Avants back in 1979. They still sound fine, and the company
still is business. Where do they manufacture them?

Canada had a pretty good audio industry going back quite a ways.
Radio Speakers of Canada was old when I was young but they seem to be
long gone now.
They made some pretty good speakers in Ontario but they never had quite
the sex appeal of Bose or Lansing.
My guess is that NAFTA and production in China made sure Canadian
production was killed off.
So as much as Harper screwed science in Canada I doubt that he killed
off the loudspeaker industry.

I subscribed to that magazine. I think I remember your name on some
articles (but my memory is fuzzy on that).
The work at NRC on loudspeakers was groundbreaking. As I understand
it, this created a Canadian edge in loudspeaker design that allowed
several companies to break into the industry world-wide.
I guess Harper cured NRC of this kind of adventures.
