I’m pleased to announce the arrival of the first of several offerings from the Danish speaker company DALI. I just got in the Lektor 2 bookshelves. WOW! Huge sound from a tiny speaker. Front ported for a true bookshelf design. I’m happy to say that in my quest for good value and outstanding sound, the Lektor 2 is a shoe in for my entry level speaker at just $475 a pair!

I’m going to New York City!!! This is the first vacation without kids that my wife and I have taken in 7 years!! While I’m there, I’ll be attending John DeVore’s Monkeyhaus! A tour of the DeVore factory and hopefully Box Furniture. I’m also gonna kick it with Steve Mishoe at his shop In Living Stereo. I will be posting highlights of the trip here later. If you know of some cool places I should check out, let me know!

I’m always reachable by cell 512-784-8282 and by email brian@whetstoneaudio.com

We have lost one of the best songwriters of our time. After many suicide attempts over the years, Vic was successful on Christmas Day. Thanks for the tunes Vic! Hope you have found the peace you were looking for. Wish you had found another way…
