AUDIO 'TWINS'

IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY THERE ARE 'TWINS' SUCH AS FORD / MERCURY AND CHEVY / GMC DOES THIS SITUATION EXIST IN HIGH END AUDIO? PLEASE TALK ABOUT THIS. I FOR ONE CANNOT BELIEVE THERE ARE AS MANY CD PLAYER MANUFACTORS IN THE WORLD AS THERE ARE BRANDS. THANK YOU.

Klipsch bought API in '06 - Energy, Mirage and Athena
Klipsch sold Aragon/Acurus to Indy Audio in '09 after less than a decade since aquiring Mondial.

Lenbrook owns PSB and NAD

Paradigm (which I thought was part of API)/Anthem

Luxman regained it's freedom from Alpine.

VTL is run by Luke Manley (son) and Bea. Manley Labs went to EveAnna after David's retirement.

Computer brands are intertwined too.
