History
In 2001, Song Audio was established by its eponymous founder, Song Kim, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Song Audio was one of the first to import and distribute single-driver crossover-less high sensitivity loudspeakers from Asia (Loth-X from Singapore). Though the renaissance of low power triode output vacuum tube amplifiers and single-driver loudspeakers is more established in Asian and European markets, interest has been developing in North America. In Canada, Song Audio remains the only importer to source manufacture of high-end products from Thailand (particularly, Vasant_K).
Song Audio produces its products in limited quantities and distributes primarily in North America. The Company is non-mainstream in the high-end community; for example, it avoids parallel design in output tubes in purist grounds and does not provide remote control handsets in its products. The Company adopts a legacy approach to its products by not phasing any out of production (its earliest products are still in production) and supports their usage worldwide by having a user-adjustable internal voltage switch between 120V/60Hz (North America) and 220V/50Hz (Europe and Asia).
The Company is based in north-central Toronto (near Steeles Avenue and Yonge Street). In Toronto, its products are represented by Audio Empire (north-west Toronto) and Executive Stereo (central uptown Toronto).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
