Samsung buys Harman for $8B

Wow! Seems they were after Harman's auto business which is 65% of what Harman does. Will Samsung leave Harman's high end brands alone or does that spell ruination of Mark Levinson, Revel, JBL, Lexicon, et al? 

Is this the largest high end acquisition?

Harman already sells very nice sounding Bluetooth speakers for use with phones and other Bluetooth enabled devices.

I bet they divest and spin them off/out within the next 12-24 mos. I agree they are after the auto stack. This hit our daily news clips at Intel. We are focused on autonomous driving. Home audio, not so much.  I'm sure I have more invested in that than intel
