RetirementJoe Akroyd closed Royd Audio in 2004 so as to retire. After two protracted a long failed buy out negotiations, the remaining stock and parts was bought by Phonography, however no more Royd Speakers were built.[1] Career HighlightsThe most famous and successful loudspeaker Joe Akroyd made was the Royd Minstrel. Launched in 1993, the Minstrel was a short, compact floor standing speaker, with a stand that angled it back slightly. It featured a side exiting reflex bass port and sold for £230-£300 depending on finish.[4] Royd speakers remain in high demand, with their vintage continually elevating second hand prices.
