Who is Bill Fitzmaurice???

#1 Post by Dace »

I am in the process of building a pair of DR250's and some Titans are next.
I have spent hours on the forums researching speakers and even traveled a fair distance to hear some of Bills speakers...his speakers are brilliant.

So who is Bill?
Where did he come from?
In all seriousness I would love to know more about his background, and his experience.

If this has already been discussed somewhere please direct me to the link. I searched but no luck.

Thank you

Some folks say he came from New Orleans,
Where he got in a fight over a cajun Queen.
With a crashin' blow from a huge right hand,
He sent a Louisiana fellow to the promised land.

Big Bill....Big Bad Bill


oops....sorry, that was Big John....

I know, nobody knows, where Bill comes and where Bill goes....

I've always pictured Bill in my head as looking a bit like Santa Claus but with an ode of seriousness instead of ho ho ho... :shock: :mrgreen:


I've also imagined that Bill could be an old country dweller in the middle of nowhere New Hampshire that sits in a wood shop building speakers all day, but is still cool enough to rock out a 60" TV and a Core i7. :mrgreen:

In reality I imagine Bill's a dynamic character, serious in work and brutal in play. Have you seen his custom bass guitar? :o If you've heard his subs you know why he lives in New Hampshire- he'd be disturbing the peace anywhere else! :clap:

His real name is Bill Beck. He came from Mrs Beck.

Related in some way to Sergeant York

99% of the time, things that aren't already being done aren't being done because they don't work. The other 1% is split evenly between fools and geniuses.

For me there is only one Batman car, and that is the 2nd one in line. The one from the movies with Micheal Keaton.
But the new one is a close 2nd.
