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:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“When the history of guilt is written, parents who refuse their children money will be right up there in the Top Ten.”
—Erma Brombeck (20th century)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
