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.

Here are a couple of links about this sad news:

I met Jason Bloom at the Home Entertainment show at the Doral in Miami in 1994. Now he was one down to earth real kind of guy, my kind of guy. He was just so excited about the Slant 6 and 8 models which brought the price of Apogees within affordability to a great many music lovers. My 20 minutes talking to him at the show was one of the highlights for me since I was always a big fan of his speakers and his demeanor was just not what I would have expected from one of the most prominent manufacturer's in the business at the time.

God Bless you and yours Hannah, your Dad was the greatest in my book!
