Does anyone remember Oxford (Ohio) Audio Consultants? Dr. Robert Smith?


Wondering what ever happened to Oxford Audio Consultants?  it was run by Dr. Robert Smith out of his home in Oxford, Ohio, near Miami University.  R-squared, as he was known, was a physics professor.  I purchased Rogers LS3/5a from in back in 1977-78. I expect he would be in his 80’s now. I gather from my Google searches that the “store” is long since gone.

I recall a great experience buying the Rogers from him; I don’t recall the electronics used, but pretty sure he used a LP-12 turntable.  He was a great guy. He had a glass eye that drifted around the room, which made for interesting conversations. 

Does anyone have similar memories?  And any knowledge on how he is doing?

Thanks

Yes, I recall the Janis subwoofers. He had them coupled to the Rogers, too, but it was going to be too much money for me.  My sister graduated from Miami in 79 with a physics degree. She had Dr. smith, which is how I made his acquaintance. We lived in Toledo at that time.
