Hi John,

I just had the pleasure to have a pair of your Super 8s in my room for a week
- thanks to a good friend and just for fun :).

I really enjoyed the evenhanded and uncolored presentation of the Super 8
which don't draw attention to themselves. Shohini and I had a couple of really
nice evenings just immersing ourself in music and being drawn into very
different pieces.

I have come to really enjoy the single driver approach and and haven't really
considered a two-way like the Devore in while. I think you created something
very special there.

Best wishes,

Rene
