Gentlemen,
Thanks for thinking of me and for your continued support. I am unable to express my appreciation sufficiently.
It is unlikely that after something like 25-years I would find myself completely disengaged from loudspeaker design. It is also unlikely that I will be able to remain a "non-participant." However, I don't know at this point what form "participation" may take. I do know that any participation on my part must be on very different terms.
For now, I'm doing something that has nothing at all to do with audio in any form. Do I plan on making a career out of it? No. But I'm not going to refuse to either.
There is much about the loudspeaker business that I truly love. There is also much about the loudspeaker business I truly detest. It's those parts that I detest that I've never been able to come to terms with, and have proven to be the most limiting over our 11-year history. Unresolved, there is no point in continuing. Should an acceptable resolution be arrived at I may well return - and with renewed vigor.
Until then, I have ceased operations. Shamrock Audio remains "in business" to support those who have done business with us over the last 11-years. I am unable to find expression for my appreciation to all those who have supported us all these years, and continue to do so. It is you that I remain committed to supporting.
Warmest regards,
