Rick Derringer R.I.P


Unfortunately, another major 70’s guitar  player checked in for "The Great Gig in the Sky."

Rick Derringer was one of those unique "did everything with everyone " musicians.

RIP, and condolences to his family and friends. Always sad when we lose someone we loved and admired. I met Rick in NYC back in the day, as I helped him purchase and set up a pair of mirror imaged Infinity Quantum QLS 1s. I enjoyed myself, that was for sure! 

@guscreek, the experience was a great one for me, but not because of the speakers, although they were enjoyable (at that time, my mains were a stock pair of heavily damped Klipsch Lascala, which still to this day, is the presentation I prefer). Rick wanted a speaker a little less dynamic than what he was used to but also wanted some grunt, heft and illumination. The QLS1s really fit the bill. I was passively, vertically bi-amping them with some Krell stereo amps. My best, MrD.
