GARY BEDINI and JOHN BEDINI have passed on 11-6-16

Wow...Rest In Peace. Sad to see notable contributors to the audio industry pass on. 

I knew John back in the day when I consulted for a couple of audio companies.  They built great stuff and it sounded very musical.  I remember at CES one speaker designer I worked with telling me that the newer amps didn't sound as good as the Bedini's.  But, his dealers had the "other" amps so he used those at the CES shows.  I like John, he had a good sense of humor and believed in what he heard, and wasn't afraid to speak up and tell folks about it, no matter how weird it was.  I am pretty sure he was the first one to raise speaker cables off the floor and demonstrated how they affected the sound at the CES booth.  We came to the conclusion that the steel in the concrete floor affected the current in the wire but neither of us had a clear cut theory on the electrical reasoning behind it.   It was very repeatable, though and everyone there could hear it.  It wasn't a huge difference but it was consistent.  One year he used 20 gauge solid wire as speaker wire.   Everyone thought he was nuts; I just smiled as he had some great sound in that booth and you can't argue with good sound. 

Does anyone know if the Bedini company is still being run by John and Gary’s families? I would like to restore a 25.25 to its original condition, and would like to purchase PCBs from them if possible. Otherwise I will strip the one channel and scan in the PCB, and take it from there.

I am probably the last person that works on Johns amps, I worked with John in his last days and have some of the stuff that was left over....I would be glad to talk with you about some of this but not on the forum.......Let me see how I can contact you.............Will

Autospec, please contact me as well. I was in Duscussions with John to buy his remaining lot of parts for his BA amplifiers and well..he stopped responding one day. this was long before he and gary passed..I would like to talk about some parts.
