    Peerless speakers were a Danish company and had a good
    reputation.

    It seems things have changed:

    + Peerless was founded in Denmark in 1926. In 2000, Vifa, also
    + founded in Denmark, merged with Peerless to form Danish Sound
    + Technology (DST). In 2005, Tymphany acquired Danish Sound
    + Technology (DST) along with the original Peerless, Vifa, and
    + Scan-Speak brands, engineering, products, and technology.

    I'm referring to having a plant in Leominster Mass.. There were some interesting drivers, and also made some for Infinity. Seems like I read
    more but forgot. I would have to read all back issues of Speaker Builder
    mag to renew what I once knew.

    The Peerless plant in Leominster folded around 1984, as I recall. One
    of the sales people bought the assets and attempted to restart it
    in Amherst, NH in 1986 under the name "Precision". I was hired on as
    the technical designer for the company for a period of about a year
    shortly thereafter. The emphasis of the line was polypropylene midranges
    and woofers ranging 4" to 12" for the OEM market. That concern folded due
    to lack or operating capital in 1987. It had no affiliation with Peerless Denmark, and the products bore little more than superficial resemblance
    to the Danish products. At the same time, there was a Peerless India,
    which was trying to sell principally tweeters. It had little if any ties
    to either Peerless Denmark or Peerless

    I had some vague memory reading Speaker Builder. I acquired some liquidated
    8 inch woofers and tweeters by Onkyo. I made some speakers early 90s.
