In Reply to: Rives Audio Closed As Of January 2, 2015 posted by MrDerrick on January 2, 2015 at 07:58:19:
FWIW - I've voiced 15-20 systems where Rives Audio had supplied their design help.
All ended up to be especially nice.
It saddens me that the market wasn't large enough to support their efforts.
Richard Rives-Bird is a great guy.
I wish him well.
Best regards,
Jim Smith
