I had the pleasure of knowing Richard for about 40 years. our phone conversations were often measured in hours. a great music lover, genius and speaker builder with out of the box ideas.
if you forgot your preconceptions and listened to the music you were a fan. I let my ears do my listening and his speakers immersed you in the music. My condolences to Vasken and his family and for those who doubt the company's continuity. listen to some of the new speakers coming from Vasken. and Shahinian Acoustics. Unfortunately today people rarely listen to good music reproduction. by itself... it needs to be tied to a 60 inch screen or with compression algorythms . RIP RS.
