  I'd like to start this issue with the warmest welcome to George de Sa in his new role as the Director of Marketing/Senior Editor. George has demonstrated his passion and dedication for all things audio and video, contributing regularly to the CANADA HiFi magazine over the last couple of years. During his time with us, he has provided great insight about various music components through reviews and shared his knowledge in a wealth of feature articles, which have been enjoyed by tens of thousands of readers. Since George began contributing to CANADA HiFi, he expressed a higher level of interest in this publication in areas other than just writing and quickly showed that he was the ideal candidate for the new role. George and I have already began developing a new path for CANADA HiFi's continued growth and have slowly began implementing some of the changes and enhancements. I look forward to working closely with George and making CANADA HiFi the very best that it can be for the benefit of all of our readers as well as the audio video industry as a whole. George will continue to contribute to this magazine and take over the tasks that Neil Underwood has assisted me with over the last few years, in addition to tackling a number of new initiatives. I'm very grateful for Neil's assistance and input over the years, and I'm certain we'll see more articles from him in the near future.

In this issue, Malcolm Gomes explains how room acoustics can be detrimental to audio and offers guidance on how to improve them in your listening room, whether it is a two-channel music system or a home theatre. George on the other hand, takes on the subject of "Bookshelf or Floorstanding Speakers -- Which Should You Choose?" -- a topic contemplated by most audio video enthusiasts.

We had so much content generated for this issue that we decided to leave out the 'Product News' section. Instead you'll find a number of very hot product reviews in these pages. Hope you enjoy your read and the rest of the summer!
