Very sad!

You will be greatly missed. RIP.

A brilliant engineer. His efforts on correlating engineering with audibility will be greatly missed.

I do hope I can keep my mind active to the end as he did. Here is an interview from last April which is possibly one of his last. A Visit With Loudspeaker Designer/Innovator Siegfried Linkwitz | Analog Planet


R.I.P

"These $140,000 speakers [...] they are crap" spoken like a true engineer

 

[diyaudnut]

Thoughts go out to Eike.
Visited them once at their home. Such a warm and gracious couple.
Brilliant and down to earth.

We are all wiser for having known him and the great work his inquisitive mind created. A life well lived.

Curiosity, open-mindedness, perseverance, humour, ingenuity, generosity, passion, rigour...

Siegfried Linkwitz possessed a rare combination of admirable traits, and we are all the richer for it.

Thank you Herr Linkwitz.

rest in peace Mr. Linkwitz

A knowledgeable technician always answered questions from newbies. A passion for audio. It will be greatly missed. Continue listening to Andreas Vollenweider where you will be.

RIP!

 

[Rodeodave]

A great loss for both audio engineering itself and the community behind it.

Although I have never had the chance to meet Mr. Linkwitz in person, you can tell from his writings and pictures from meetings and show reports that he must have been a very pleasant, generous and open minded person.

His legacy will live on in our living rooms, on our workbenches and in our understanding of topics that he wrote on.

Farewell!

A massive loss. Linkwitz was one of the modern giants of audio, a superb designer and theoretician, and always generous with his knowledge. We all owe him a debt of gratitude. Rest in peace, with the gratitude and respect of thousands.
