I had two different pairs of his Sovereigns, a pair of the Black Knights, and several pairs of his wall speakers and the Thor subwoofer. I also once negatively reviewed his Standard Head Amps. He was an irascible but interesting guy. I very much enjoyed conversations with him although they were usually one sided. His big speakers were outstanding. A friend still has his and enjoys them everyday. He will be missed although I have not talked with him in at least 15 years.
