Salamander Designs Claw Feet

As a composer and record producer, I've always been most concerned about sound quality. I know what instruments sound like - and how they should sound through speakers. That's what I listen for when I'm researching and writing about wireless speakers and wireless multi-room audio systems.

While I enjoy many musical genres, my passion - and training - is in classical music. I've hosted a weekly classical music program on WTJU since 1984, and I review recordings for their website. I'm credited in Best Music Writing, 2011 (Da Capo Press) and have had some of my compositions recorded on the ERM and Fleur de Son Classics labels.
