Grizzly Man-For Richard Thompson Fans

If you like the guitar work of Richard Thompson, I suggest watching the Werner Herzog film's 'special extra doc' contained within the dvd.  'Grizzly Man'  has a 40 minute special extra of Richard Thompson working on the soundtrack with some amazing musicians.  Recorded at the Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, I noticed the studio monitors and could not zoom in and read the brand, looked like some kind of Harman/Kardon JBL logo.  I became obsessed to see what they were using circa 2005, and wrote two emails. Of course, no response.
Lots of fun!  And the music is ethereal.

Right, LoneWolf,
I read through that and went through the monitors mentioned.  None of them look like the speaker monitor in the documentary.
Though, it did lead me to the new version of one of the speaker companies.  Australian based.

For good fun, click to it, and especially listen to the spiel about those proprietary woofers.

Thanks for the heads up.  Although I like Herzog movies, I could only watch about ten minutes of this one on TV because the subject of the film is such a vain, egotistical a**hole.  I didn't realize Richard Thompson did the music, I'll have to rent it just for the extras.
