Television Man

Bill is an avid Audiophile with work experiences in both music and electronics. While working for Radio Shack he took classes at UMA for Jazz and composition. In 1979 there was a rumor around town that a crazy man had bought a building downtown and was going to put a high end audio store in. By the end of that year he started a ride thru the second golden age of audio that still should be perpetuated today, its advances have benefited the surround world in many ways. During the last 10 yrs he's spent "preaching the gospel of good audio" to a variety of other AV businesses while focusing on the important aspects of video as well. In his" spare time " he also modify's equipment to fine tune their performance. He also travels to Gorham every week to play and record Casco Bay Concert Band. What drives him today is building good performing theaters and audio systems.

Computers can be a handy tool for the nuts and bolts of loudspeaker design, but voicing it so that it reproduces instruments believably is still best done by ear. That's where there are so many opinions. Paul Barton of PSB was becoming a world class violinist when he became interested in speaker design. He started building them in the 70's for his school chums when he became aware of a psychoacoustics program at the NRC in Ottawa and a gentleman by the name of Dr. Floyd Toole.  PSB became the first speaker company to utilize this facility. PSB gets it right!
