Message from the President

Dear Friends,

We hope this message finds you well, rested and recharged after CEDIA EXPO 2005.

Thanks for meeting with us at our press event and at the Crowson Technology-Fortress Seating booth. As you experienced first-hand, Crowson's TES 100 (Tactile Effects System) bridges the gap between cinema and reality with the world's most true-to-life motion.

After four short years, we're very proud of our growing reputation among high-end home theater manufacturers. But we are just as proud of the strong personal bonds we've made -- a network of friends with whom we share this tireless pursuit of excellence.

Thanks for all your support - we couldn't have come this far without objective editorial coverage written by and for enthusiasts like yourselves. Stay tuned -- Crowson plans to unveil many innovative products over the many good years to come.

Sincerely,

Randolph J. Crowson

P.S. Yes that IS Maureen Jenson, Editor of Home Theater Magazine, on the bike - what a great sport!
