I met Bret right at the end of the TAVES show in Toronto where I was very impressed with his stunning art deco looking amplifiers driving Totem Element speakers with complete control. He was a very personable and open guy with great plans for his company's future. I liked him immediately, though I sensed he was not well with all the weight he was carrying. I remember the heartfelt embrace he shared with Vince Bruzezze as they parted. Deep respect for each other. It's time to drop the needle on a Leonard Cohen LP once again and let this news ripple through our community.
Bret D'Agostino passed away
Bret D'Agostino passed away on January 03, 2017. He was the president and head designer of Bully Sound Company (http://www.bscaudio.com/).
I talked with him once at a show where he was demonstrating his amplification with Harbeth 30.1. He struck me as a very cool guy and preferred conversation over sales motivated pretense. I also like that he continued with class a amplification while that design's commercial presence shrinks. My condolences to his family and friends.
