Founded in 1987, the first Rockustics speakers had hand-chiseled lava rock cabinets that averaged over 300 pounds each. The Rocky Jr. model was born when the top of the 300-pound version fell off. Molds were made from that top piece, dramatically cutting production costs and weight. Now, all cabinets are made from non-polluting, stone and resin compound using over 90% recycled products making them not only natural looking, but earth-friendly as well.

In 1983, Sonance co-founders Geoff Spencer and Scott Struthers had a brainstorm of an idea. They took hi-fidelity box speakers and created a way to conceal them in a wall. This made the speakers less obtrusive and much more aesthetically pleasing, without sacrificing sonic quality . . . and thus, the in-wall speaker was born. Since that time, Sonance has been on the leading edge of Architectural Audio. From in-wall and in-ceiling home-theater systems to whole-house or distributed audio, Sonance is leading the way with new technologies and innovations.

"High Performance Audio and Video Interconnect Cable Designs Based in Science." This concept, in 1991, the year Tributaries Cable was founded, was considered extremely radical. Then, as well as today, many audio and video interconnect cable companies, using exotic materials and unusual design configurations, described their product’s performance with opinions and marketing hype masquerading as scientific fact. This atmosphere of misinformation convinced Joe Perfito that it was time to start an interconnect cable company whose products would be designed based on scientific principles.
