Who is David Kelly?

The April, 2018, issue of The Absolute Sound announced in two or three places in the issue (e.g., p. 34),that the old KLH Model Nine is being refashioned for possible re-entry into the speaker market.  This lead man in this is David Kelly, "a longtime veteran of Klipsch," who acquired the rights to the entire KLH line in 2017.   David Janszen himself has agreed to help Kelly make the Model Nine a  viable product again.  Jonathan Valin writes that the Nine was always a "supremely great transducer." So, we'll  have to see what these good folks come up with.  No dates were mentioned.
