Orb Speakers For Smart People. Made in USA.


We are a high-end speaker manufacturer who has proven that price does not equate to quality in the home audio industry. Yes, there are certainly very good speakers that are expensive. But that doesn't mean all very good speakers have to be expensive. Distributor and retail markups eat up way too much of the price that you pay in most stores. There are many designer systems, the names of which you are very familiar, that are made from speaker components that cost less than 10% of their selling price of several thousand dollars. There are even more systems that fall within a slightly lower price range that are made out of components that cost only a few dollars. From the beginning, it has been our intention to turn this practice upside down, and to deliver speaker systems with the finest quality components, an attractive, upscale design and an affordable price. The only way to to accomplish all of this was to be different from the other players in the industry, make our speakers in the United States, and to sell them to our clients directly to avoid substantial (and totally unnecessary) markups.
Orb Audio is changing the way speakers are sold. The markups in the consumer audio industry can nearly triple the price of the speakers you purchase in stores. By steering clear of this hazard and selling direct to our clients, we can make better speakers and sell them for less. You will notice the difference. You will discover details you have never heard before in familiar tracks. Music and movies will shimmer with depth. Our business model makes a lot of sense and in the end you wind up with a system that costs no more than the generic box systems in all of the stores, yet performs better than all of the award winning domestic and international systems in a much higher price range. Trade a short, high-pressure in-store demo for a 30 day no hassle home trial. Add to that our long warranty and free lifetime technical support, and you have a winner. This is a better way to buy speakers.
Orb Audio is changing the way speakers are made. There is no substitute for quality. All of our speaker systems feature our exclusive Mod1 and Mod2 satellites and acoustically-matched custom Super Eight long throw subwoofer. When your money does not go to middlemen and markups, it goes into quality components like gold-plated binding plates, high tech neodymium magnets and oxygen-free internal copper wire. American steel cabinets, stands and mounts -- no plastic, no fake wood.
Orb Audio is commited to being different. Our Mod1 and Mod2 satellites are manufactured in the United States by craftspeople with years of experience in electronics assembly. We do not have to take mass market considerations into our design, such as designing speakers so that exactly 5,000 fit in an ocean shipping container (don't laugh, it happens all of the time). We can design our speakers for one thing -- performance. Our business philosophy is also unique. One way to keep our prices in the mainstream is to keep our overhead as low as possible. We would much rather be a boutique employee-owned company that can pay attention to detail and manufacture smaller batches of handmade speaker systems each month, than an office space eating, advertising, corporate junky that has to mass produce tens of thousands of speakers a month (or day!) just to meet overhead expenses. No $3,000 chairs here, although we do confess to having one hell of an audio system. Our customer service is different, too. When you contact us, you will speak with someone who knows what they are talking about and can help you find the right system -- even if it is not an Orb system. You will definitely speak to someone knowledgeable, and you might even speak to an owner of the company or a speaker designer because we all take turns on the phones and answering emails. Oh, and the sound coming from our speakers will make your jaw drop. Did we mention that?
Try Orb Audio today and enjoy the benefits of superior performance, design and construction. You can learn more right here on our website or call 877-ORB-AUDIO (877-672-2834) if you have any questions about our products or company. You are also welcome to contact us via email at support@orbaudio.com. We answer emails promptly.

Wigwam Mills, Inc. is proud to knit its socks in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

We care that thousands of manufacturers in this country sacrifice quality for less-expensive labor in other areas of the world, to increase the bottom line. We continue to lobby in Washington D.C. for programs that responsibly limit the quantity of imported products coming into this country while still pursuing a policy of fair trade with our many global neighbors. We care about the environmental, sociological, and financial implications of this policy.

We want you to feel good about buying the Wigwam brand because we’ve set a standard of integrity that we strive to live up to every day.
Our manufacturing facility is state of the art and getting more “green” all of the time. We have and are working with local utilities to improve our efficiency and limit our carbon footprint by installing solar energy panels to heat our water, motion sensory lights to limit wasted power, and responsible waste management to re-use and recycle as much as we can.

We support wool producers in this country by sourcing our wool almost exclusively from American yarn spinners who buy from American wool growers. And we support domestic yarn spinners whenever possible and work with them to get the best quality natural and manmade fibers and yarn for all of our products.

For over 100 years, Wigwam has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of our customers. We have done this not just through providing them the finest quality socks, but by providing them with the assurance that their purchase of Wigwam socks supports its reputation of honesty and integrity.

Lucky Brand Jeans stands for independent thinking, individual style and a feeling as authentic as love.

Friends since youth, creators Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman shipped the first order of Lucky Brand Jeans in 1990, and have been renowned for their great-fitting, vintage-inspired jeans ever since.
Gene and Barry’s life long passions were blue jeans and rock ‘n’ roll. While experiencing the hippie-counterculture movement in the U.S. in the 1970s, the then-21-year-old Gene teamed up with 17-year-old Barry, and friend Bill Rudnick, to open a jeans shop in Florida called Four Way Street. It was 1972 and they were officially in the jeans business, “During the evenings, we’d head out to the local Laundromat with our pockets full of coins and some bleach. A few hours later, we had a stack of great washed jeans -- one of a kind and 100% authentic!”

Gene moved to Los Angeles in 1978 “with $100 in his pocket” and entered the burgeoning Los Angeles fashion industry. He started Bongo Jeans with partner Michael Caruso and helped run the Bongo brand for 15 years, helping it grow into a multi-million dollar company. In 1990, Gene left Bongo to launch his dream, Lucky Brand, and asked Barry to become his business partner once again. The Goal? To create a denim company without compromise, about great quality and good humor.
Lucky Brand became instantly recognized for its attention to fit, but there was one more detail to follow. Gene wanted to put a message in the fly, and came up with the catch phrase “Lucky You.” The irreverent play on words and strategic placement of the “Lucky You” message bucked the 1990s politically correct climate, attracting some unfavorable advice, “Don’t do it. People won’t buy it, they’ll be offended!”

As promised, Gene refused to compromise and his good-humored “Lucky You” signature was a gamble that paid off. In next to no time, the phones were ringing with people demanding those jeans with the “Lucky You” in the fly. Lucky Brand is built on moments like these, of irrefutable attitude and vision without compromise. Los Angeles and the free-spirited Southern California lifestyle continue to inspire the company’s style. The story of Lucky Brand is the story of two great friends moving to California and starting a jeans brand. The rest is history.

Fans include Ben Affleck, Halle Berry, Abigail Breslin, Brad Pitt, Salma Hayek, Sandra Bullock, Ellen DeGeneres, David Grohl, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Preston, Hilary Swank, Vince Vaughn, Ethan Hawke, Chris Noth, Thomas Haden Church, LL Cool J, Matt Damon, Will Smith, John Travolta and more. Lucky Brand works with the wardrobe departments of Hollywood movie studios and has been featured on numerous TV shows including Ugly Betty, How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, The Unit, Scrubs, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace and CSI.

Lucky Business

The Lucky Brand collections are carried at better department and specialty stores, and at over 110 company-owned stores nationwide and three internationally.
May 1999 marked another stage of the Lucky Brand development when Liz Claiborne, Inc. acquired 85% of the company. This strategic partnership positioned Lucky Brand for major growth, focusing on expanding its retail locations, e-commerce site and increasing its foreign distribution. Lucky Brand will continue to license its brand in other major product categories.
Lucky WorldwideLucky Brand’ global presence has expanded with free standing stores opening in Hong Kong and Macao along with its existing 6 across the Middle East and 7 in Canada. Wholesale presence in Selfridges, London is just the beginning of European expansion. Lucky Brand’ development of namesake retail stores and continued wholesale growth throughout international markets are on target for the remaining of 2007 and increasingly prominent for 2008.
