BRIAN's SONG: It is with great sadness that I must post Brian Cheney has passed

I'm very sad to read that Brian passed away, it was so sudden after all. Rest in peace.

My condolences to Cheney family. Since I live so far away from El Sobrante I never met Brian but we exchanged thousands of e-mails during last eleven years. Brian was unique personality – along with making great speakers and boldly showing them off in his live vs. recorded events, I really admired his wit and a vast knowledge of classical music.

He brought a lot of joy to many people and will be remembered.

May your genius live on...

Brian Cheney has been part of AudioCircle since it began, and this is very sad news. JC, I'd be grateful if you would pass on my condolences to Brian's family.

I never thought this day would come so soon.
AWESOME speakers to dream of! I remember drooling over the big super tower III's.
Thanks Brian for all the day dreams.
r.i.p. Brian.

Brian survived in a very difficult business for many decades and produced some truly memorable speakers. He will be greatly missed.

Brian's funeral will be Wed, December 12th.

The family has requested that in lieu of sending Flowers, that those so inclined instead contribute to one of Brian's favorite Musical Foundations and one he often contributed to himself, CARNEGIE HALL.

If you are one of those who intended to send flowers, here is the LINK to make such a contribution CLICK HERE.

Copy and paste the link directly into Google Translate. Translate supports many languages,
with of course English being an option. Works great.

Wow, I am in shock! I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He was a giant in the audio biz and a really interesting guy. He will be missed.

I have been asked to remove this post by the original author as he will do a better job of translation. So this is why this post is empty and the next one makes no sense.

That should make it easy for everyone.
