My deepest condolences for the loss of your previous speakers. I personally knew them little but had enjoyed their company and found them quite refreshing. They were good speakers. They had no enemies, because they never spoke bad or laid out a bad note on anyone or anything they were reproducing. I know they are in a better place, where they do not feel the pain they did while with you Mike. I wish them the best on their journey.
As for the new kids on the block as Kuriako so well put it. I can only wish the father courage and insatiable listening pleasures. I greet them as Mike would, and as a whole, the entire ACA family is smiling with you my friend. We all know the emotions, the intangible and uncontrollable awe you feel whilst listening to differences you have never heard before.
Every time a member is in your position we all feel as one. We know you feel the same with our new family members as well.
So with that in mind. And on that note, I wish Mike the absolute enlightenment in the next few years or even more so, I pray for Mikes spiritual fulfilliness through the magical musical therapy he will be involved with in the future.
I know I speak for everyone in ACA ,when I tell you that you have our full support and we all understand why you will not be speaking to anyone for the next six weeks.
May the Gods of Valhalla be with you my child.
