Irving Bud Fried has died

Meby

Thanks for the news. I owned a few pairs of his speakes in my lifetime and he was always very nice when I either called him or met with him.

Happy Listening Bud, where ever you are!

Trelja would know this for sure since he recently joined Bud Fried's team.
Trelja is this true? Thanx.

Hello.

I have a call into my dear friend, Dr. Jonathan Raines, who is CEO of Fried, and has taken a leading role in Bud's care of late. As such, I don't know what is going on at the moment. All I can say is that I sincerely hope this news is wrong. Bud was perhaps the most interesting person I have had the pleasure of becoming a friend of. I also consider him one of the sweetest and most generous.

Hopefully, we will know one way or another very soon. I promise to update the thread as soon as I know ANYTHING.

Very sad for all us transmission line fans. My Kinetics are based on the IMF line he used to rep, which also served as the basis for many of his own later Fried designs.
