R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius

I agree with kenjit on this. 

The man has passed away and cannot defend himself against what anyone on the net cares to say.  I am uncomfortable with these latest posts and don’t think they should remain here.  Mods take a look.  Just not the right place or time. 

Apparently, csmgolf is unaware of estate law (me too but I’ve always wanted to say that)!  Anyway, maybe there is some recourse for those who got screwed.  You can contact a lawyer to go after his estate.  ITS PROBABLY NOT WORTH IT THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WASNT MUCH OF AN ESTATE AND THE SPEAKERS YOU WERE WAITING FOR WERE PROBABLY SOLD BY ROY OR WHOEVER WAS LEFT AFTER HE PASSED!

For all those who loved the man, I’m not saying Roy wasn’t a great designer.  I AM SAYING that those of us who’ve known him for a long time or tried to do business with him, know (knew) the real Roy.  On that note, I’ll leave it at that and no longer comment on his character.

Moving forward, for those that still own his speakers, enjoy them.  They really are some of the best designs you can own.  
Those fortunate enough to have the Calypsos or the Pico Medeo have some of the most musically dynamic and expressive speakers ever built.  Feed them well and treat your room properly and take comfort in knowing that even $100k speakers from Wilson don’t even come close to what you already own.  That is my opinion so it’s pretty much fact 🙄.  Just kidding but really, I’m serious.

Grannyring, please allow the mods to look at my feedback if credibility is what you seek.  Have a glass of scotch and take it light.  Just because a little truth tastes like sour milk in your cereal doesn’t give you the right to keep others experiences from this thread.  If you some how get our posts removed (I’d hope the mods can allow some sanity to prevail here) then you will have accomplished nothing other than us having to start a new thread.  
Relax, Roy was a great designer.  Some people have concerns (people got swindled) though and you should mind your business.  This is the perfect place for them to seek retribution.  The proper audience is in attendance.

I have already sought advice from a solicitor about making a claim as a creditor against Roy's estate, but have decided not to pursue this because of the expense to do so, and the likelihood of getting my money back even if the court ruled in my favour. For anyone wishing to pursue this, however, note that there will be a time limit to make a claim, which is usually a matter of months.
