We’re lucky to have him on the team.”
“Russound is singular in its approach to designing high performance, highly reliable products that bring the best of modern technologies to consumers who only want the best and most consistently reliable performance from whole house audio. There’s a reason why the company has been a market leader for more than forty-five years,” said Smith.
