July 19, 2017 by Ted 1 Comment

Russound logoIn an extended meeting with Russound CEO Charlie Porritt and Vice President of Product Development Colin Clark, Strata-gee had the opportunity to learn details of the relatively dramatic developments at the company – many taking place behind the scenes – that management has undertaken over the last few years to better position the company for the future.

LeEco Appears to be Falling…Hard

May 24, 2017 by Ted Leave a Comment
