Blue*drop
Slightly mysterious Japanese operation that manufactures back horn loaded high-efficiency loudspeakers and baffles, prices are unusually keen for a Japanese operation, but note that most prices quoted on the site are for the baffles only, you will have to supply your own full range drivers, and most of the sales go through the Yahoo Japan auction site (there is a link to current auctions on the Blue*drop homepage). Apart from the product range and blog on the homepage, some discussions on the company's products on Japanese hi-fi BBS's the only information we can find is that it started out in 2010, is run by a gentleman that has Finnish nickname (Korva = ear), that has a fascination of the Finnish language (all products names are in that language) , but is definitely Japanese and is currently based in Ibaraki Prefecture.
