Bret D'Agostino passed away

WOW, we're so sorry to hear this. Met Dan and Bret - one of the finest audio families around. Top flight people. The heart's heavy today.

I'll spin some for him tonight !!! He'll hear it up there...

I met Bret right at the end of the TAVES show in Toronto where I was very impressed with his stunning art deco looking amplifiers driving Totem Element speakers with complete control. He was a very personable and open guy with great plans for his company's future. I liked him immediately, though I sensed he was not well with all the weight he was carrying. I remember the heartfelt embrace he shared with Vince Bruzezze as they parted. Deep respect for each other. It's time to drop the needle on a Leonard Cohen LP once again and let this news ripple through our community.

does anyone know any causes of the passing away?

i would like to know too... anyway, rip, and my condolences...i’m a real heavy guy too, and i suffered both a stroke and cardiac arrest in the last year and a half...i’m lucky to be alive, but now it’s about time to start shrinking...

so sad.  i can't imagine how heart breaking it would be to have either of my sons go before me..

and yes, @dave_72 , drop some pounds, you can do it!

believe me i know...thanks for the encouragement!
