Onkyo has filed for bankruptcy

@jjss49 yes I do and people will lose jobs bubba, such arrogance. 

been using Onkyo receiver and CD changer in workshop for 20+ years, great stuff..I thought I read the audio business will remain...I always thought their stuff was good value, and mine have had great reliability...

You know jj49, sometimes people just can’t switch jobs like other people change socks. Day Care arrangements may limit some. Others may be approaching retirement age and not exactly look like the belle of the ball on a resume. They may have elderly parents or sick children that limit their mobility., if not their own medical issues as well. Sometimes you gamble that you can ride the sinking ship until it hits your destination out of necessity.

getting a lil off topic, but yes i agree

my point is onkyo’s poor business performance has been apparent for some time (many many years), people with limitations or difficulties w.r.t. alternative employment have had plenty of heads up on what’s coming sooner or later ... furthermore -- and as you rightfully say, riding what one knows to be a sinking ship is taking a risk in its own right ... in life we all make difficult decisions, dig deep, do the hard things for a better tomorrow, make tough transitions... some handle it better than others

in my life i have had both aging parents and sick children... and i have dealt with many bankruptcy situations big and small... the motivations of such a legal filing for protection against creditors are manifold, to put it mildly

so i will restate... op posts: onkyo goes b-k... well as a hifi enthusiast, i personally couldn’t care less (no doubt others may care more...)

I have owned several Integra AV receiver and they been better than the Anthem AV ATMOS receiver I own now.  The software was always spot on and the sound for AV was good, where the sound on the Anthem is ok but the software sucks. However, I don’t see Onkyo or Integra keeping up in the market with new designs and performance.  If my last Integra would have done 4K I would have never purchased the Anthem. While we’re discussing it about AV products point is that Onkyo losing market and not keeping in designs, performance and and there marketing is poor. As for Stereo I never use there gear as I have Pass Labs stuff.
