RIP Roy... Wow, what a shock! I just spoke with him the first week in July, and he seemed in great spirits, full of energy and info as always. Roy was always willing to talk your ear off for an hour or two with advice, info, and whatever he could help you with to make your system sound it's best. He had a pair of Chroma HX's almost finished for me... they were supposed to ship mid July. That will not happen at this point unfortunately. The speakers are insignificant in comparison to the subject matter here. Such a loss to the audio community and such a shock. I wish his family the best. I knew he was sick for a while, but I thought he was doing better and on his way to good health. Very sad indeed. RIP Roy, you are missed.
R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius
All,
It is with heavy heart that I bring to you the heart breaking news of the passing of one of audio's true geniuses. Roy Johnson passed away this week after a long battle with cancer. He was a truly brilliant speaker designer, and true friend, and an amazing person. For those of us lucky to have known him as customers or friends we know he was infinitely committed to lending a hand, imparting his wisdom, solving problems and creating some of the most amazing loud speakers ever heard. There were often gremlins in my system not centered around his loudspeakers and Roy would literally drop everything and help me trace down problems, while all the time educating and teaching me, not for gain, not for money, but because that's who Roy Johnson was.
He will be greatly missed for his humor, his dedication, and his selflessness in audio and in life.
Rest in Peace Dear Friend,
You Are Loved
