Condolences to Peter's friends and family, and thank you to Millemissen for such a great post enlightening us on him as a person.

B&O has lost a great advocate and a true enthusiast. He truly appreciated what the brand stood for and appreciated the great (legacy) products we all love.

RIP Peter Pan, from all of us at BeoWorld.

Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.” (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, “Follow me.”

John 21:18-19

RIP Peter

My condolences to his family and his friends.

This is sad news indeed! I am very late to this thread but I would be remiss not to acknowledge Peter's dedication and passion for B&O - both the products and community.

From my earliest years of BeoWorld forum reading/lurking/posting I remember seeing his constant updates and refinements to his system where he built a stand-alone ICEpower amp for his Pentas. As many have said in the posts above, his drawings and diagrams are legendary.

Location: San Francisco

I'm an automotive audio and acoustic engineer. I design loudspeakers and full sound systems for new automobiles. I also dabble with studio, consumer and pro audio projects from time to time.
