This was my letter to Jim, wishing him a good new year, and expressing my appreciation for his efforts. I post it here for all to read, with his blessings.
>Hello Jim, and best wishes for a happy, healthy new year!
>I am more thrilled than ever with my HT-3's - love them! Last night
>the wife and I were listening to Tierney Sutton, and she turned and
>said "you're NOT getting rid of these speakers!". No way, I replied.
>I hope Phillip ****** ordered a pair after auditioning mine - I
>don't know what more he could hope for. He brought a friend along
>who is instrumental in "contemporaryjazz.com". This friend brought
>along a demo disc, which he left with me - I think you should listen
>to this - Manul Katche "neighborhood". He described it as "one of
>the best recordings he has heard".
>The first track features a VERY deep bass line, along with Manul's
>very musical use of cymbals - I nearly was knocked off my chair!
> I have since taken this disc to a few dealers showrooms, and they
> had nothing that could deliver what this disc has on it! Yesterday,
> I was at a dealer (who thinks that Manul is Peter Gabriel's
> drummer) - we put the disc on, and he said "it sounds like any
> other good jazz recording". I told him it was time to rethink what
> he has on his floor, because he wasn't hearing half of what was on
> the disc - and he was welcome to come to my house to learn what he is
missing!
> So, check out the disc, stay well, and thank you for the beautiful
> sounding (and looking) speakers!
>Take care,
>Chuck S
