RE: Can't remember their name - went out of business

As others pointed out, it was probably Waveform.

I knew the company's owner, John Otvos, a bit. After Waveform closed, he made a point of saying to me that he didn't go out of business; instead, he closed up shop.

Some might say that amounts to the same thing, but not necessarily. John was a master woodworker who made tremendous money building things (not speakers) for other people. As far as I could tell, Waveform was a business of passion, not a business to make a living for him. He was also an idealist about what he wanted to sell, and outspoken about it. Controversial, always.

I think he just sort of gave up the fight and focused on other things. I could be wrong, but that was the impression I got (I spent a day out there a year or two before he closed up and he wasn't hurting for money as far as I could tell).
