an old but durable car. He usually dressed informally in well-worn clothes, and had a direct, pragmatic approach to problem-solving. Old customers would sometimes drop by his house looking for long-discontinued replacement parts, which Kloss would obligingly retrieve from the basement.

He was survived by a son, two daughters, and seven grandchildren. References Stereophile obituary Wes Phillips (2002) Henry Kloss: The Man Who Changed Audio and Video CE Hall of Fame: Henry Kloss.
