Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people.

Don Sachs -- makes equipment, responds and is very instructive. Brent Jessee -- Audiotubes -- has made numerous recommendations to me and never steered me wrong. Roger Gibboni -- owner Rogers High Fidelity Most of the posters that I've done business with at Audiocircle and USAudiomart have been fantastic.

Louis Chacos of Omega Speaker Systems. Above and beyond regardless of whether he would or wouldn’t get a sale. 

Mr. Polk the speaker designer.

 

He was nice and down to earth.

 

I asked him to give a 2.1 computer speakers and he obliged - he said it was a good business suggestion. He offered me to buy me esoteric pre/power amps which I had to turn down, since I couldn't reciprocate his kindness...

 

We chatted audio a few times and I thanked him for giving us pretty good sounding speakers for the main stream at a more than reasonable prices...Lately, his works have been getting more upscale for a little more money, if you want to check them out, with good reviews from the pros - still under $1000 per pair. 

 

He also offered to draw up X-over for my speakers project - I wanted to place many drivers in my wall instead of enclosing them in a box.

 

What a smart, able, kind gentleman!

 

I also had a chance to talk to workers from the Bose and Niles speaker companies. They too were informative and nice...

 

Jeff Joseph ... a total mensch!

Mile Nestorovic (RIP):  seemed like a good guy when I talked to him about a much needed speaker repair.  Mile was a designer for McIntosh during the day before he branched out.
