JohnBlue Audio Art
Taiwan based manufacturer of small single driver audiophile speakers, that is full range drivers in a bookshelf format, not quite a Voigth with dwarfism but rather a full-range driver in a bass-reflex box, still quite a neat concept that I have not seen recently except from some Japanese manufacturers. The smallest units (who are small even for bookshelf speakers) are not big enough to deliver any real bass but they are intended more as computer speakers. The company has more recently added a full size single driver model, headphone amplifiers, valve amplifier, power conditioner, super-tweeters and cables to their product range, the cables were sold under the Mr.Cable brand although they are transitioning them away from that brand to the JohnBlue name. The company also sold high end capacitors suitable for valve amps and speaker usage but that is no longer the case.

Jutan International Limited (JIL)
Canadian company that sells Asian sourced brown goods using both brands that it owns such as Citizen and with licensed brands such as Electrohome. Note that the company only owns the Citizen trademark in Canada and even though they use a similar font in the logo as what the Japanese company uses there is no relation whatsoever, it has in the past also used brandnames such as Candle and Concert, it is also belived to have been the company behind the Strauss brand. Users of modern web browsers like Mozilla or Opera should be aware that at the time this was written the company's home page was very amateurishly put together (multiple body statements etc.) so it would not show up at all on those browsers.
