About Us

Our mission is to provide loudspeakers that can offer a new level of musical illusion at mid-fi pricing. It will “compete with other speakers 2 to 3 times its price”. This is a statement claimed by companies and reviewers all the time. We believe in our products and will stand by our claims. While most manufactures have mark-ups of 3 to 5 times the materials costs, we sell at just a bit over double our material costs. As our driver and amp options get more expensive, this ratio is even better for the customer.

What makes OB-One products different? To start with, the design decisions made are based upon solving the big problems first, then taking care of the resulting shortcomings in a logical fashion. We believe that form follows function whenever possible. Finally, we strive to address beauty and WAF after we are happy with the sound. We believe that quality parts make for better outcomes. We avoid esoteric parts when the relative payoff just isn’t there. We have incredibly low overhead costs and sell directly from our manufacturing facility in Livonia, Michigan. Finally, we are not in this business to make giant amounts of money. We do it from the pure love of audio and speaker design.

We encourage you to continue through this website to get a better Idea of who we are and about our first two speakers that are now available. The OB-8F-15W and the OB-10F-15W represent the best bang for the buck and therefore are the right ones to offer in the beginning. There are other larger and more expensive models that may be coming soon, depending on what you guys want. Rest assured though, with all models offered, we will always have upgrade paths and retrofit opportunities down the road.
