HiFi Heroes: Gilbert Briggs of Wharfedale

HiFi Heroes: Gilbert Briggs of Wharfedale

This is the second in an occasional series of podcasts devoted to some of my Hi-Fi heroes. This podcast is dedicated to Gilbert Briggs, founder of Wharfedale. These days, Wharfedale is owned by the International Audio Group and like QUAD, many of its products form part of the current fashion for retro products.

Gilbert Briggs as well as being a great audio engineer was a big influence in popularising Hi-Fi as a hobby in the early days of the industry

Gilbert Briggs was a proud Yorkshireman, so we have created a range of brass band music to accompany this podcast, using the Mureka AI software to create music in the style of the many colliery bands that were created in the county. Unfortunately, once I had done my research, it turns out that he was a huge fan of the piano, so perhaps that would have been more appropriate.
