Acoustic Profiles was made in the Toronto area, I believe by Audiosphere Research. To my knowledge the company is toast. Too bad, because these Acoustic Profile speakers sounded damn good and garnered some favorable reviews. My friend has a pair of Acoustic Profiles towers with twin 8-inch woofers and a nice tweeter and they sound fabulous. I am waiting for him to sell them to me. I believe they made center channel speakers too, but this is going back to the mid-1990s latest. You might be able to find something used on eBay Canada. You might try e-mailing Andrew Marshall of Audio Ideas Guide. Do a Google search for Audio Ideas Guide. Andrew might know if one of the Acoustic Profiles designers is still around and if that person could recommend a suitable new center channel from another manufacturer if you can't find a used A.P. center channel. Good luck.
