Or... How I came to joining AudioCircle.com.
It all starts with a set of speakers (Doesn't it always?). VMPS SuperTowers to be exact. I enjoyed these for quite some time, it's hard not to like a set of speakers that will knock the pictures off your neighbors walls. The humor of watching the siding jump on your house every time the base hit never got old. However, my current house is much to delicate for such antics so these wonderfully over the top components have set idle.
Fast forward to late last year when I found Audio Circle and it's collection of VMPS owners. I was even more excited to see that Brian Cheney maintained a circle here personally. Unfortunately, I procrastinated, delayed joining, and in that time Brian Cheney passed away. Would have been nice to speak with him as he seemed to personally remember every speaker he built.
But, time does march on and the inevitable has come to be, it's time to find a new custodian for these beasts. So I am here, where it is most likely that someone who knows about these speakers will appreciate and enjoy them as much as I have.
In the mean time I get the opportunity to meet new people, make new friends and learn from others' experiences. An excellent use of interwebbery if you ask me.
