REcall visiting him in Malta.
He sat us down and played the same LP as 'speaker tester' that I'd always used!
(Andreas Vollenweider 'Beyond the wall.....')
Wish I'd kept the Glastonburys.
He liked my Rock!

It was Nick Gorham who'd bought the shots. :-)

Such sad news I had a couple of beers with him and Toni after the last Hammersmith show.

I also remember seeing Ken Ishiwata and wondering if I should say hello and thanks, wish I had now as I'll not get another chance

thanks ali

Oh man, sad news indeed. I met him briefly at the XFI Premium Show in Veldhoven, Holland in October 2019. We chatted for some time about his supertweeters where he, with a wry smile, confessed he did not know a word of Dutch. A gentleman.

That's sad news. I've only recently been in touch with Townshend Audio, getting my Allegri serviced.

Sad news. Max Townshend was certainly an audio designer who thought 'differently'.

I didn't agree with some of his ideas (his cable designs in particular), but I did admire his conviction.

Sad news to an industry legend, have met him and his wife many times.
