    Jim Smith

    I just had a 60 minute skype chat with Jim. I have been following Jim’s comments on AS for some time now and with interest. I can hand on heart say that my chat with Jim was educational and I can’t wait to implement his advice. In short, I need to reconfigure my room. And at fairly minimal cost (I need to reposition my speakers and will need longer speaker cables). Other tweaks involve no or minimal cost.

    I highly recommend one of Jim’s one-on-one sessions. You will be speaking to someone at the top of his game. Special forces.
