I have known Dale Pitcher since the early 1990's. My entire 2 channel main system is made by Dale. Preamp, amps, external crossovers, speakers, interconnects, speaker cables. All of my components were his top of the line. His stuff is incredible. He was truly an electronic genius. He was always very eccentric but unfortunately he went off the deep end about 6 years ago with a psychotic break. He is of course now out of business and unreachable. A guy who sold his stuff for 25 years is Duane Randleman, who is now with Automated Lifestyles in Bettendorf, Iowa. He is very knowledgeable about Dale components. And he even makes great speaker cables, interconnects, and power cords using a lot of Dale's principles.
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about Essence Speakers by Dale Pitcher?
I have read all the threads I can find on the web about Essence Speakers and about Dale Pitcher. I met Dale at the Essence plant in Lincoln in the early 1990s. I know about his eccentricities but found him to be a genuinely nice guy with a great passion for audio. I have owned a pair of early Gem speakers and currently own a pair of Gems from near the end of their production run. His speakers are amazing. I would like to become acquainted with other Essence owners and fans of the Essence product line. I have recently found and purchased a set of Essence Topaz 6 speakers from the mid 1980s paired with a pair of Topaz Subwoofers. Is there anyone out there with any literature, pics, documentation, history, setup procedures, or an interest in having an informal club or chat room to share the joys and sorrows of these wonderful speakers?
