tom b. 57 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I just seen this and I too am sad to learn of Bob's passing. I had the pleasure of dealing with him on several occasions over these 15 or so years I have been a forum member. Always very helpful and courteous. Possessed a great deal of knowledge. Seemed eager to help and willing to guide in the right direction if I was unsure of what path to follow during the few repairs and replacements of these Klipsch speakers components. RIP BOB! like what Has already been said, you will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechEngVic Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Oh man, just reading about this now. Did business with him on a few occasions and I was always satisfied. Good thoughts to his family. He will be missed by the audio community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeward Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm so saddened to hear this news. I met Bob once years ago when I took my Klipsch Forte 2's to him to have them rebuilt. He and his sons were so cordial to me. Bob had me sit down and listen to his pair of Jubilee's while his son's tore into my speakers. They rebuilt the crossovers and installed the titanium inserts in the tweeter in one speaker and left the other stock. They then played the speakers for me and switched back and forth between them.....said if I didn't like the difference they'd put it back to stock. Man, that's some wonderful service rarely seen these days. Many of us will miss Bob so very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314carpenter Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 OMG. I can't believe I missed this. So sad. RIP BEC. Bob has helped me on an unquantifiable level, directly or indirectly, more than almost anyone else on this website. I wish his family well and hope they choose to continue his legacy, but we certainly all have lost a truly irreplaceable man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J M O N Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 This is very sad news. I've never met Bob but did send some business his way and he subsequently sent his high value services my way. This is a huge loss to the Klipsch community. Condolences to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicSeeker Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Just saw this. Sad news. He was a pleasure to talk with and do bussiness with. I rebuilt several speakers and crossovers using his products. Condolences to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTUBE Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 God wanted to upgrade his Klipschorns, so he called Mr. Crites, on the insisting recommendations of a certain Mr.PWK... Thank you again Mr Crites for your useful help and top notch products when, in the early 2000s, I built my DIY Cornwall enclosures : Cheers, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipschguy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I spoke to Bob on a number of occasions over the years. He was a very helpful, down-to-earth individual. He will be missed. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if the business is still going? RIP Bob, you will be missed. I really miss Bob. In the early forum days we both had great fun giving each other a hard time. Bob making fun of my lac of length (at 5'7) and me his age. However he wasn't much older than myself. Bob was a smart biz man. He saw and filled gaps for Klipsch lovers. Repairing drivers, new drivers, woofers, and upgrading networks. Cost effective products, service and shipping second to none. But I always drove down there for pickup just to see what he was up to. RIP Bob tc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
