It's probably an understatement to say that Bill Jenkins is an audiophile. As the owner of Bill Jenkins Sound in Los Angeles, he's been designing and manufacturing speakers for over three decades, specializing in high-quality, handcrafted musical instrument speakers, studio subwoofers and large format studio playback and monitoring enclosures. So, it's no surprise that his business has attracted the likes of some of the music industry's most iconic tastemakers — including one world famous record producer and music mogul, whose studios Jenkins outfitted with a custom installation that far exceeds the power most commercial recording facilities may require.

You're above the world watching a sunrise from a hot air balloon. Sometimes life is almost too amazing to fully take in, and when it is, your smartphone is there to catch… nearly everything.
