From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: What other reason is there? Al Stiefel would have told you that!

Back around '05 or '06, just before he died, Al and his wife came to visit me in Ohio.

He had heard the Best In Show XLH 1812 speakers at the preceding RMAF which I had for awhile at my place. He was at that time promoting his Renaissance Audio line of 811 mono blocks and they drove all the way from Colorado with the amps to hear them drive the 1812s.

We played a lot of music that day but the highlight was the CD, it might have been an SACD of the Munch Organ Symphony with the volume at 11. What a grin on his face at THE NOISE! It was the closest I've ever been to being that kid in the chair with his hair blowing off in the Pioneer advert.

A lasting memory of a wonderful man.
