He went to prison for defrauding children's charities ...

Nope, 20 years probation. Story here.

He signed a contract with me (we knew a lot of the same people such as Howard Schilling and Bob Rapport) and he just stiffed me for $40,000. 

Then he tells me "why don't you come to Denver and I will buy you a steak dinner and let you drive my Porsche Boxster" 

For the record, I was driving a 1997 911 Turbo then. I just sent him a photo and moved on. 

Wasn’t Danny of GR Research contributing to speaker design of some sort for them?  The audio circle forum is where I found some more info on them awhile back.  I have my old 750’s as my garage speakers now but those things have survived a few cross country moves and still sound great for what they are.  Too bad about the founder.  

Prior to this there was the Perpetual Technology 'thing'. I bought into the whole concept, dsp possibility for all speakers was going to be a reality, never happened. On the other hand, Dan Wright and my own diy mods brought that stack up to very high level of sound quality. 

Yes I owned the RS750 as well as the Ref1 back in the day.
