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

you are right lets just turn a blind eye to all those innocent people who have according to some reports lost a lot of money or been betrayed. 
 I paid for speakers more than 4 years ago. I know I will never get them.
I dont know the reasons green mountain gave for being unable to ship your speakers but why has he kept your money if he cant supply the goods you paid for? Thats inexcusable 
does anybody have the circuit for the newer versions of Rio? or even the original?
