Very sad news. He will be missed, a legend in the Audio World.
So sorry for your loss Sue and family.
RIP Max
RIP Max Townshend
Not sure where this should get posted, miscellaneous or cable, so posted here as plenty of folks read cable forum.
I know plenty of us have read or learned of Townshend products. From their Fractal Speaker cables (I have some on order), to their speaker platforms and vibration absorbing devices that a few here own and have written about. Well, sadly, the man responsible for developing these products has passed away. My condolences to his family.
