A few years ago a new hi-fi store opened in Montreal so I went there just to see the place and talk to the people. When I mentioned that I was impressed by Vandersteen Fives the co-owner responded something to the effect "oh, those are speakers for my father..."
A brand's image and aura are of utmost importance and many want speakers from a newer off-beat company.
If it wasn't for high margins and the relative simplicity of building them I am sure we would never see so many manufacturers out there.
Makes it fun to watch though.
