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!
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.

@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. |
