Really sad for sure.    I was just emailing back/forth with him back in December.   I have a set of new crossovers for my Heresy project sitting here in my office.   My condolences to his family.

well, glad you're well and here's to much success for you in the future. 

you're needed around here ... take some pressure off of me.  these people demand wit, wisdom, and humor and I'm running out of material.

That's the way I see it, just like it was at the Hope gathering in 2005, Bob sitting with Dee, and Bob checking out crossovers in his spare time.  RIP Bob and Dee.

Gregg, that was one of my favorite audio gatherings ever.  It was my first trip to Hope, and obviously, the first time to visit the Museum and the Klipsch factory.  We can never repeat with the same group of great guys, but I certainly hope you can make it again to a future gathering of Forum members.

Trips to that place has certainly eh, evolved

One could never recreate my initial delight of finding an electroshock therapy machine in the museum basement.  It ended up really improving my attitude.

RIP.  Glad I had at least one phone conversation about some crossover design questions. Very straight no nonsense answers.  Thanks Bob!
