I think it was made by Tom Mitchell in Riverside, California.

Wasn't sure as I did see that as well I figured because Mitch Mitchell worked with Jim Marshal it was him.Funny thing is that there is a Tom Michell that lives down the street from me here in Santa Barbara who is in his 70's that I purchased some Altec drivers from who builds high end tub amps. I asked him about the amp he was building in his shop and asked him how much and he said $65,000??

Yes, Riverside sounds correct. I've got a few Mitchell speakers. Their PA1200 cabinet has two E-V EVM-12L drivers in it, the original versions of these drivers. The upper box is named for the EV driver in it, the EV1823. I've attached a few pictures taken during a rebuild. I, too, tried to find info on this brand, with little luck.

Very nice I am going to drive down and pick them up in a few days can't wait to hear them. I have several pair of Klipsch La scala commercial version speakers and a pair that I just finished with a 36" mouth and 30" deep.
