I've seen worse typos than that one since Chris is most definitely a wit! I appreciate you posting the link as I very much enjoyed reading the interview again.
We can say that Bryston being the company it is resulted from a perfect storm of the best kind and one of the critical factors has certainly been Chris Russell. A celebrated audio engineer of exceptional talent, he has never been ego driven and gradually handed over the day to day work of designing circuits as he found young engineers with the ability to improve the products beyond what he had done. The company is always on the lookout for the best of the best. It's a great team.
