Simon GhaharySimon Ghahary is a revolutuionary loudspeaker designer from the United Kingdom, known for his unconvetional speaker designs. In the summer of 1991, he was working for R&D division of Bowers & Wilkins Speakers in Steyning. Ghahary found that round speaker enclosures would actually deliver better sound quality than the conventional rectangular enclosures common to most speaker designs. He would also incorporate unconvetional materials such as fiberglass into the construction. Ghahary started his own company, Blueroom Loudspeakers with another engineer, Laurence Dickie, which soon became a division of B&W. The company commercially released many of his Pod designs, including the Housepod, Technopod and Minipod loudspeakers. Ghahary's Housepod speaker won B&W their first EISA award in 25 years. This also led to worldwide growth and recognition for the company. In 1994 Ghahary formed his own record label, Blue Room Released. It is considered one of the most important, and sometimes the most mysteryous, label in the psychedelic trance genre. The label was home to such popular artists as Etnica, The Infinity Project, Juno Reactor and Total Eclipse. As luck would have it, Blue Room also released X-Dream's Radio, the album often credited with changing the face of this music genre. In 1996 Blue Room became independent again. Ghahary left the company in 1999 and started working on the sifi project. The sifi company was founded in 2002, specializing in product design and development. Sifi's products have been featured in magazines like GQ and Surface Magazine. Although best known as a speaker designer, Ghahary apparently also worked as a DJ and an album cover art designer.
