I've run Into Ken a couple of times, late 90s/ early 2000s. He was indeed a tad eccentric, but, so are loads of guys in audiophilia.
For those unaware, he was a big proponent of multichannel audio. I never heard his end game rig in that large space, but, I get the feeling it would have b.slapped the daylights out of whatever lousy lil rigs y'all have (the harbeths, crappeths, gooftubes, etc, whatever and let's not forget the fuses) around here, lol..
All the Ken hate seems to be coming from these constantly disgruntled dudes (chains of misery) who always have lousy sound no matter what they do with their crappy lil stereo squeakers on lil stands in terrible rooms. Blame everything on the cable thereafter and keep changing the cables, mighty silver knights....bwaaaaajahahaha
