The are carried by a couple of respected retailers, have a huge factory complex, sell the raw drivers thru Parts Express and have received some decent reviews.
swan are great speakers they use hi-vi reasearch drivers and great cross overs. the only thing that i dont like about swan speakers is that they are hard to find because most of there busness is done on the internet. but they will suprise you with there great hight and huge base out of such a small speakers. i have a pair of book shelfs and they are great. i plan to upgrade the rest of my equipment when i get the nerve to get rid of my other speakers. i replaced a pair of b&w with these speakers and i will tell you; you are paying for the name b&w because i beleave the the swans sound better then you old b&w and were a 1/3 of the price.
