.....For Malcolm Steward: A huge influence on myself and many hifi and music enthusiasts, Malcolm had a stroke at the wheel of his car some time ago and was thus involved in a major accident.
Not much has been said about this tragedy but my thoughts have often returned to him. I had hoped for some positive news and regularly searched for some. Today I was saddened to hear that Malcolm is not faring well and is now a victim of our crumbling health and social services.

Please spare a thougt for Malcolm. If anyone has any ideas as to how the hifi community can help, then please feel free to share.
On a personal note I was immensely proud to be able to own the SBLs that Malcolm wrote about in his reviews and regular columns. They had been stored in his summer house and needed a total strip down and refurb, including refinishing and powder coating. I had to sell them before I left the UK, but I'm proud to have owned the speakers that lit my enthusiasm so brightly when described so richly by Malcolm. I sincerely hope he is able to be able to have a quality of life which he has worked for and deserves.
