Quite honestly, I have never before been so compelled to post such a note. I had the occasion to speak with Louis regarding the application and use of my speakers (BPC's). Apart from just his sage advice, Louis has to be one of the most genuine and amiable individuals I know. Despite what I consider to be almost celebrity status, he has taken the time to explain his philosophy regarding his personal love of music and how he has translated that love to his designs. I am admittedly not as well versed or as knowledgeable as are most on this board, but as with art, I know what I like. If the reaction of my freinds and family is any indication, they too can fully appreciate what Louis continually accomplishes. My endorsement is merely a personal one and I apologize if this is "off-topic" and not addressed to a particular issue, but for anyone considering the purchase of some loudspeakers, I do not believe you will find a better value, better customer support or a product so evolved more from care than the desire for commercial success than you will from Louis' creations. To all that have taken the time to read this post, thank you.
