This one makes 45,001.

So I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of those that participate here. All of you make it all worth it for me.

Having such a great group of guys here to share and learn from one another has been a blessing. I have made many great friends here.

Thank you, all of you.

It's us that should thank you. You have been so generous with your knowledge over the years. The GR circle is one of the most informative on the web.

This is a great resource. While I'm pretty new here - I have spent a long time reading through the last year of posts. Extremely informative. And getting Danny's direct answers to questions is fantastic.

Thanks to Danny - and everyone else!

That's pretty impressive Danny! Good job! Congratulations.

As others have said, it is so nice to be able to ask questions to, and receive answers from, the designers of so many great speakers (which I happen to own) in a format like this. I don't have to worry about the hour or day of the week or time zone issues, just post and I'll get my questions answered.

It's also been nice to meet so many great people here on AC on the Forums as well as in person on occasion.

Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future brings.

I agree with everything said so far. I always dreamed of being able to listen to high quality music in my home but it was always out of reach. My mother always said I had champagne tastes on a beer budget. With Danny's products and this circle I am able to have the champagne level sound on my beer budget.

If it wasn't for this circle, with all the help and build threads shared, I most likely would not have attempted building my own speakers. Come to think of it, maybe that wasn't such a good thing since now I can't stop, arrghhh!

Danny,
I appreciate what you have done for the DIY crowd. Regardless of whether or not someone has the know how and tools to design and measure a speaker, they can buy one of your kits and put together a very hi-end speaker. My system would never have sounded nearly as good had I not found your circle.

Thanks for all the great designs.

Best,
Ed

I too agree with all the remarks made by others. The AC forum has been helpful to so many of us in the DIY audio community. The participation and knowledge shared by you as well as so many other great members has been wonderful. Thank you Danny for starting the AC forum and for all the help that you and others have provided.

I hope this circle will continue to grow and be even better in future.

Ron

Hi Danny and all Audio Circle members.
If I remember correctly my first post was on the GR Research circle.
I might be wrong, but I did post many,
many times on your circle and thanks for everything.
Learn a lot, thanks.

Congratulations Danny. Thanks to you, I built my first speaker a couple of years ago. Your forum has been a great place to learn and visit and I hope you have great success!

I wasn't aware Guy 13 was the first GR Research builder in Vietnam. Guy, when will you become GR Research's importer/Head office for South East Asia?

Also, congrats Danny. There are not many top designers who use their craft for high end gear, but also will help out a forum member design a DIY build that does not involve anything that he sells. This says a lot about the man, and it's overlooked.

bdp24 · « **Reply #18 on:** 9 Jan 2014, 04:57 am »

Thanks Danny for all your ideas, advice, and products. At long last there are subs good enough for electrostatic, magnetic planar, and ribbon speakers. That is a HUGE deal!

Hi persisting1, Danny and all Audio Circle members.
I would love to set up my dream audio company that would be call Audio 13,
unfortunately, no money for that and the Vietnamese Audiophiles goes a lot by well known brand names
which would make it very difficult to market my products.
GR Research, Bottlehead, Omega and Blue Jeans would be the brands that I would import.
Well, who knows, I might make my dream (Audio 13) come true if I win the lottery.
