In Memory of Henry Kloss


NPR just now announced Mr. Kloss' passing last Thursday. Around 1975 my second-ever real pair of hi-fi speakers were his big Advents. I was glad to have them and they continue in daily service today.

Although I came of audio age after Mr. Kloss' influential heyday, I grew up in a house with the Advent table radio in the kitchen. I used to play it every night while I did my dishwashing duty, and believe me, I took as much time washing those dishes as I possibly could, since it was homework afterward. To this day, I think I can truthfully say that I have spent more time in my life listening to that amazing little radio than to any other one piece of audio gear. It's been over 15 years since I moved out, but I was just over to my Dad's last night, and listened to the 400 with pleasure - it's still there, still sitting where it always has for close to 30 years, still making music, acoustically suspended in time.
