Thank you for all your advice and contributions to audio. We are glad you will still be hanging around though, that's for sure.
Happy trails!

Bob - THANK YOU for your many contributions to the DIY world! I have learned so much from the work you shared for so long. Enjoy your retirement.
All the best Bob.
Yourself and MJK were the main inspirers of my Metronomes 🙂

very good
I wish you the very best times. Good call, wise decision. Everyone should also take from time to time a rest from the music or building stuff for longer periods. The perspective gets completely changed. I had a half year of sobering from hi-fi and music (no music listening. I felt after 25 years as addicted and found out that I was) and sold everything. Now I am starting to go light on everything.

Amen! I haven't been here long enough to know the OP but my other hobbies have taken me into high performance engine building from scratch and FPGA softcore 6502 running @100MHz (separate projects that sucked years of life, but left knowledge). I got burnt out on both of those for now... Right now I enjoy a long lost love of speaker building...
You'll be back.
Cheers Bob!
For those of us who dropped out of these discussions in the late 80s Bob has been the man who has delivered the news, along with P10 and others, about what really goes on in pipe type enclosures. And, his having actually done a business building these things is a bigger accomplishment than bystanders can begin to imagine. So enjoy retirement, Mr Brines. Have fun in whatever way suits you.
Bob, you need a rest. But on the other hand it's a pity your designs are no longer accessible. Maybe after your rest period you might reactivate you website to sell only your designs, not finished speakers.
I hope to see you again at the 2018 LSAF. As I have stated your setup sounded the best of any at the 2017 LSAF.

We met at LSAF2017, it was great getting to talk to you in person. Good luck with any future plans and whatever follows next.
Bob,
I have enjoyed talking with you at the last two LSAF's. Thank you for patiently answering my questions. This year I brought my wife and she liked your system the best.
I hope to see you there next year.

Hi Bob,
Just wanted to thank you for all the help and advice you've given out to me and everyone else at the Tulsa and Dallas audio shows. I learned more from you, Earl Geddes, Wayne Parham and the others at that 1st Tulsa show in a few days than I'd learned in the previous 10 years.
Your room was always full of great sounding gear that was actually affordable. It's easy to find cheap gear and it's not horribly difficult to find good sounding gear but producing cheap and good is a rare talent.
So thanks for all the help and hospitality. And for expressing your opinions even when they don't match whatever is the current consensus in audio.
Hope you're still going to come to the Dallas show as a civilian and wander around and play. It's a fine thing to do in retirement.

thank you for sharing your wisdom and pointing many of us starting DIY'ers to the immensely enjoyable full range speakers.
Bob, thank you for all you've contributed. I appreciate the knowledge you've shared and your particular insight/reviews on the projects you've worked on.
Just to add another "thank you" to all the above, your TL using the FE167E
drivers were the first speakers I ever built, and immediately supplanted a pair of
L@nn's. the plans were well thought out, straight forward, and the end result was a dose of that single driver magic !
Best Wishes whatever your retirement looks like !

Congrats on your retirement Bob. I greatly enjoyed your TB1772 floorstanding speaker. Built it with white pine after Charles Altmann's "Mother of Tone" and it was liquid magic! Well balanced and eminently musical top to bottom. Thank you very much for your contribution to my diy fun! By far the best $25 I ever spent on any DIY speaker project!
