In Memory of John Wyckoff

  It is with deep sadness that I report the passing of John Wyckoff of Hammer Dynamics fame. John had been battling an illness for several years and it finally took his life on January 30th.

While I had spoken with John via the telephone many times over the course of the last few years, I only just recently met him at CES a few weeks ago. I was impressed by the great sound of his affordable speakers at the show and he very proudly showed me the prototype of his new 12" custom driver that he had hopes of bringing to market within the next few months.

John continuously thought outside of the mold and he was definitely an up-and- coming force in our industry, thus his dedication to this hobby of ours will truly be missed.

Rest In Peace John
