North Creek Music - George Short


Hi all, I just signed up today. Many years ago I bought a lot of systems from George Short. At the time he had a company called North Creek Music in Old Forge NY. Last time I talked to him he was recovering from a bout of cancer. I never build any of the 7 systems I got from him as i had fallen off a scaffold and was in medical trouble myself. My I am retired and planning to finish up these speakers.I am an avid woodworker and got his plans for his designs. My questions is does anyone know what happen to George?? I am planning to get involved with this blog as it seems so cool to read from people who like to build there own equipment. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Flavio

The last I heard he was employed by Wisdom speakers /   audio in Utah . This was a few years back you could try to contact Wisdom audio to see if he is still there . I did buy one of the last manifest speaker kits before he closed . I still own them and use them everyday with a pair of his thunder subs . I finished my speakers in a beautiful waterfall bubinga  good choice beautiful wood. 
   I just happened to find this thread so sorry for the late reply but hope it helps to find George . I only talked to him once maybe 15 or so years ago very nice person.

Thank you tecknik and dekay!! Yes I talked to him after the fire. I thought it happened in New York. If I remember right it was a ,long time ago, the fire was because of the secretary did something. Oh well. He told me he was recovering from cancer back then. 

Anyway 15 yrs ago I bought a complete speaker system(7.1) The bass will finish around 100 lbs. Things happened and I never build them . I have all the plans and parts still in the boxes. I had a bad fall from a roof that really set me back for many yrs. I am now retired and planning to finally build this system. I have some beautiful rare bubinga for the boxes.

Tecknik, thank you for the reply.
Dekay, thank you also . Yes I am going to look him up. Hopefully I can find him as it would be great to see how he's doing. And to finally show him the finish products.
Last time I spoke to George he had sold out to another speaker company who,s name eludes me right now and was in Arizona.  I know north creek had a massive fire after moving to Arizona, it’s a shame he sold out George is a real gentleman who knew is stuff especially his inductors. 

That was at least five years ago and it’s a shame really he had some good designs and products’ I only hope he is well and happy and wish he could resume what he was doing some day.
