What happened to him? Poor man. I am always sad when good and talented people leave this earth too early.
Very Sad News: Jason Bloom of Apogee Is Dead
One of the true pioneers in Audio, who was the driving force behind the amazing Apogee ribbon speakers, has passed.
I do not have specific details, but I do not believe he was that old, as was David Hafler, who also died recently, but was very old.
Very few people had the passion for high fidelity that Mr. Bloom had. Personally, as an owner of the original Apogee "The Apogee" Full Range ribbon speakers, I feel very fortunate to experience his genius.
