I was friendly with him about 15 years ago and was at his place once.I had several phone conversations with him before going to his lab.
He would crack me up tell me " I am not going to build you a seismic sub woofer until you buy a house "
perplexed I asked him why ?
" it will set your apartment building into harmonic resonance "
looking at him I said " so "
" so ???? ,,,, are kidding me that thing can produce one acoustic watt ! "
the Dude was a crack up at times .... he had a real love for beryllium TAD compression drivers. He hated class D amps calling them brittle and strident. He loved 45 directly heated triodes.
some how I did not end up with any of his speakers as I got an extremely good deal on a set of Altec 19s. .... in retrospect I wish I hadanyone else know the late Dr E ?
