MTX speakers?

[NicholasG]

MTX is AAL (American Acoustic Labs) and Oaktron speakers. I actually liked the Oaktron line of speaker drivers when they were Oaktron as I though they had a good overall tone to them. I really like Oaktron 8 inch speakers for ceiling speakers the best so far. AAL speakers are all the same. I have 3 Pairs and do not like any except the AAL D550's as they have a different tweeter. They seem to use the same cabinet for all speakers as my set with 15's have the exact same depths as the two pairs with 12's in them. As for MTX, never cared for the MTX line of speaker. If the price is right get them for parties otherwise pass them.

Not sure about that one. I'm not familiar with DCM speakers.

They also owned Soundcrapsmen.

According to wiki:

MTX audio was called Matrecs in 1979. The MTX name came in when Loyd Ivey, then owner of his own company American Acoustic Labs, bought out the Matrecs name in 1979 and changed it to MTX under Ivey’s parent company Mitek. In 1991, MTX Audio acquired Soundcraftsmen, a defunct audio equipment manufacturer which was located in Santa Ana, California, and was called MTX Soundcraftsmen until 1999. In 1984 MTX created the first mobile audio enclosure.

Loyd Ivey is chairman and CEO of MiTek and therefore MTX, which employs over 750 people. MiTek has 12 other companies including MTX, with plants in Ennis, Texas, Louisville, Kentucky, Monroe, Wisconsin, West Dundee, Illinois, Winslow, Illinois, and in Phoenix, Arizona.
