Hi!
My name is Andreas. I´m 34 years young.
I live with my small family nearby Berlin in Germany.
I´m a speaker/high fidelity freak since the age of 11.
My first dream speaker has been JBL Project K2.
Finally, with ups and downs, I made my hobby to my profession and worked for well known companies during the last years.
During my business trips in Asia I often see a lot of JBL stuff and I even met one of the old JBL R&D managers from the eighties (who is retired now and back in the USA).
I really respect the JBL engineers and the technologies they have invented first(and the Japanese copied them). I´m collecting a lot of famous JBL drivers and I´m very often surprised about their performance! Even the early designs have been really progressive, wow! Unfortunately the good hi-fi and high-end times are over and all audio companies are forced to do the i-Pod plastic shit. That´s really sad/hard for me and I wish I had been born earlier in the good times. But, let´s do our best and keep the fun...
I intend to find freaks in this forum like me sharing the same fun, and I also would like to get contact to retired or current JBL engineers.
Best regards,
Andreas
