Salk Future TBD

It is unfortunate that there aren't family members or employees who are able to continue the company.  Equally unfortunate is that beautiful cabinets are now being made in China more and more companies seem to be availing themselves of these cabinets in order to keep costs down which ends up putting a lot of pressure on the custom cabinet guys like Salk or Daedalus or Devore....to name a few.

Audio is a very competitive business!

I was at that Arizona Speakerfest and clearly recall seeing and hearing the Salk speakers. I was hoping at that time that it would be an annual event.

this is horrible, is my first impression, for such a well regarded brand. I don’t understand this:

They simply did not feel confident they could market speakers at prices

what marketing? Salk is such a well-known brand, if you build it, they will come.

I think this thread will provide some context...

Increasing the price 20+% at a time when the whole country was bracing for a recessionary meltdown had to have severely hurt short term sales which might have scared the buyers...and then add to that the  concern that they  might have had as their business doesn't seem to revolve around the "pricier product".

Hope Jim had these folks sign an NDA with teeth.
