Robert P's 2008 Lotus Exige S

Kramer Crane

I'm an audio/video enthusiast, so much of my day is joyfully spent researching and writing about home speakers, amplifiers, and A/V components. My goal is to boil technical jargon down to plain language that helps make choosing new gear a smooth experience for you.

I spent the first half of my career designing A/V systems for our customers. I'm proud to be part of a team of industry experts that truly cares about helping people.

Outside of Crutchfield, I own a small business that specializes in landscape photography. My work has been featured by Southern Living Magazine, the University of Virginia, the city of Charlottesville, and the state of Virginia.
