Good to hear that you knew SL. I got the impression that he was a really nice chap. If anyone was out at Corte Madera where he lived and got in touch he'd spend a day showing them the various speakers and listening to them.
He spent a decade or more fighting prostate cancer, and eventually died age 82 late last year. He was still doing interviews from a hospital bed in his front room shortly before he died! Search you tube for that and other lectures by SL at the AES etc.
The good news is his widow still holds open house, with Nelson Pass (who lives locally) often there. The website, SL's treatise on loudspeakers, crossovers, amplifiers and so forth (
http://www.linkwitzlab.com/ ) is safe and being maintained by Frank Brenner. Frank runs MagicLX521 from Germany (
https://www.magiclx521.com/ ), but is also an airline pilot, including Airbus A380's. So he's often at the get togethers in Corte Madera if his flight schedule works out.
