Happy Thanksgiving all!
As we look back on this past year, we certainly have a lot to be thankful for.
Despite a somewhat sluggish economy, our business grew by 50%. We can be thankful for that.
We introduced quite a few new models which were very positively received. And for that we can be thankful as well.
But those are not the things I am most thankful for today.
I am thankful for John, Teresa, Ammar, Juan Luis, Sam, Jessica, Mary, Dennis, Jeff, Paul and the many others who share our dream and work tirelessly to turn it into reality on a daily basis.
When the dust is flying and the hours are long, we sometimes wonder if the effort is worth it. Sure, we love building beautiful speakers. But the motivation that provides only goes so far.
When an owner calls to thank us for his new speakers and gets choked up describing his initial reaction, we understand why we are here. When a new owner emails to say his spouse, who couldn't care less about audio, brags to neighbors about her new speakers, we share his sense of joy. And when an owner who has had his speakers for years calls just to say hello, we know what this business is all about.
As we pause and reflect this day, we are most grateful for friends, old and new, that this business has brought our way. Thanks to each and every one of you for making this a most enjoyable year. You are the reason we are most thankful today.
